Te tai rā, te tai rā
E pari ana te tai ko whea, e pari ana te tae ki te kauheke kaumātua he atua, he atua
Totokia mai rā te whatu mātaktaka
Tū mai rā horoia ki te toki aitū
He tapu takahu, he tapu takahu
Koia rā te whetu, te mārama
Tīhei mauria
Me wehi ki a Ihowa te kaihomai o ngā mea katoa..
He kapua pouri ki runga o Ngāti Porou, o Ngāti Kahungunu, i te maunga titohea a Taranaki i te rironga o Bill Kaua
E te rangatira moe mai raa ki te atua
Moe mai raa ki te urunga te taka
Te moenga te whakaarahia
Takoto ki te papa taurikura
Ki te huinga o te tini me te mano..
