HE TUPE MO TU.

Karo taha, te karonga a te po,
Karo taha te karonga a te ao,
Tupe Nuku,
Tupe Nuku,
Tupe Rangi,
Tupe Rangi,
E Tu-te-rangi-kokota,
Tahua atu,
Tahua mai,
Tu-whakamoea te toha Kaurerewa,
Kaurerewa te mata o Kiukiu,
Te mata o Kapewhatu,
Ko Kapewhatu,
Ko Ruatangata-matua,
Auta Nuku,
Auta Rangi,
Turuturua te tapuwae o Uenuku,
Hokai te tapuwae o Rongomai,
Tinatina ma Korowhatu,
He punga, he aka, he tauira,
Ko te tauira o wai,
Ko te tauira o Tu,
Kurupine Tu i to manawa,
He manawa riri, he manawa nguha,
He manawa Kaukauia,
Taku mata ko te whetu,
Taku mata ko te marama,
Taku mata ko te ra e tu nei,
Ki kona koe tu mai ai,
Ki konei au tu atu ai,
Whakarere whatu ki taku wheinga.
