He Tangi.

E tama kuhu noa,
E tama he noa,
He aha koia koe te whakaaro ai,
Kihai to tika i a matou nei ko te puni wahine
Ko te puni tane na-i,
I runga ano koe o nga puke rarahi,
I raro ano ia i te mano wai e,
E tama tapu nui,
Tapu whakahirahira,
He mauri wehewehe na o tupuna,
Ko Whakaraka te whatu
E hara e tama, i te hou tupu e,

He whiringa mai hoki,
He kapenga mai hoki,
He noa ake nei ki te waka ihumutu,
E hara hoki ia, he turanga hiku,
He kakano whakauru, he koko-tangi-wai,
Whaia e koe ki te iti, kahurangi,
Kia tapapa koe he maunga tiketike.
