Takiri mai te ata
Ko te ata i a Ranginui e t奴 iho nei
Ko te ata i a Papat奴膩nuku e takoto ake mai nei
Ka p艒, ka ao, ka awatea!
Ka p奴ao te ata i 艑teh膩, i 艑kahukura
Ka huaki mai te rangi i Turitea, i Manawat奴
Haeata ana mai i Pukeahu, i Te Upoko o Te Ika
M膩rama te ata ki ng膩 kete k艒rero e utaina mai nei
M膩rama ki uta, m膩rama ki tai
Uhi tai, uhi tai, uhi tai!
