TĀUA

E tōku kurupounamu
Whakawhārikihia o raruraru
I waho
I tua
I raro
I roto i ahau

Āta whakarongo Kia Tawhiri (Matea)
Āta aro ki ngā ngaru tuatea
Tauawhi ēnei rerekētanga
Me whakatinanahia
Me whakahīhī

E toku pou tokomanawā
He herenga kakekake kei tāua
Me hoki whakamuri
Kia anga whakamua
Mo te ao Māori
Me te whenua

He uri whakaheke kē ahau
I ngā tai ō Te Tairāwhiti
Me ngā hau
Pukēri ō Ngati Raukawa
I ruia mai i Rangiatea
Me whakatinanahia
Me whakahīhī
