KO TE TANGI, A TU-TARA-KURA, TUPUNA O TE ANAUA.

Taku kainga pahera kau koe ra i,
Kihai turia e au ki te aniwaniwa,
Kihai whakataua ki te mata i a Tu,
Ka tuku ai koe ra i,
Maringa nui ra koe pou kai,
Tenei ano ra Whakatau-potiki,
Nana i tu te Huru-o-Manono,
Kaka-tumuaki-rawea,
Kaka-haere-iti,
Ko te ahi tunu manawa tena,
Ka tuhi ki te rangi,
Ka rapa ki te rangi na i,
Tama Hinewai,
Taria mai e koe,
He matangi ruru hau,
He tonga kari whenua,
Tena au,
Whanatu na, e-i.
