“Waiho a Waahi hei kaainga mooku”

Naa Kiingi Koroki

Taane i aahua i te poo uriuri

I te poo tangotango, i te poo kerekere, i te poo i oti atu

Teenei te toki a Rata ka uu

Ka mau, ka ranga ki te puutahitanga te taahuuhuu nui o Rehua

Kia ara ake ana ia ko Taane i Te Pupuke e tuu nei

Ko Raahui Pookeka tooku haaona kaha

Ko Taatahi Ora tooku oko horoi

Ko Taane i te Puupuke taku Paataka Iringa koorero

Tiihei Mauri ora!
