Nō taku ohinga Ko taku hiahia He whakatere I taku waka Huri taiawhio te ao I ngā ngaru tūātea Waewae kai moana Ki tua o te ripa Ka maharatia koe I te hiko o te uira Te kanapu, whitawhita Ki te rangi i runga Ono marama i taku waka Me he takerehāia Aotearoa Whenua taurikura Koho mohoao I te pito o te ao Haramai i tawhiti rā Wairua o te toa Kei roto i ahau E rere nei i ngā hau Kia kaha e hoa mā Kauparetia ngā hara Kia kōrerohia rā Ngā pakiwaitara Ono marama i taku waka Me he takerehāia Kia tūpato rā Kei hinga i te aroha Arahina mai rā E Tāwhirimātea Ono marama i taku waka Me he takerehāia
