HE MATA.^*

Whakarongo,
Whakarongo ra le taringa,
Ki te hau taua e hau mai nei,
I te tai ki te uru,
Hurihia,
Hurihia ki muri ki to tuara,
Tikina taku ika,
Ki waho ki te moana nui,
Na Kiwa e takoto mai nei,
He koronga,
He koronga naku kia tae au,
Ki nga uru kahika’,
Ki Ouru,
Ki Owhawha,
Kia kata noa mai,
Te kikitara,
Kotikoti paekohurehure,
Kikipounamu,
E tangi ana ki tona whenua,
Ka tupuria nei e te maheuheu,
Tangi kau ake te mapu e.
