Tihei Mauriora!!
Ka puta ki te whai ao...
Ki te ao marama e..........Tiha!!
Tenei taku mihi ki a kouotu katoa
E hoa ma/ me whakarongo ki taku korero
Tuatahi, honore ki te atua
Homai ki ahau to ringa kaha
Maku e timata/ me penei/ me pena
Kaua e wareware ki te whakanga
Whuia ou ringaringa ki runga
Ki te rangi/ ki raro ki a papa
Whakapaingia te ingoa o te matua
Me te tama/ te wairua tapu
Whaia enei kupu/ kaua koe e mutu
Na te mea/ kare he pai nga raruraru
Haere koe ki to whanau/ patai ki a ratou
He aha to turanga i roto i te whanau
I roto i te ao/ i roto i te aha
Aue he tino taumaha/ nga maharahara
He aha te kara o taku kiri?
Parauri/ na te mea ko au, he Maori
No te iwi o Ngapuhi/ me Tainui
He piko he taniwha
Maku he kai tangata
