Mahia te mahi mō Te Kura Ara Raki
E te tuahine a parata Neitana, te kōtiro a Koro Meiha
I te wā pūmau e te Kōkā, e Whaea Reiri e
Hoki wairua mai ki a mātou, tō whānau o Te Kura Ara Raki
Ahakoa tō tinana e takoto nei ki Wairarapa
Ko tō wairua kua hoki kē ki a Ruahine e …. e
E tangi ana te ngākau mōhau e te whaea e
I tō wehenga ki ōu mātua tūpuna e
Piere nuku ana te pupuri ki a koe e Reiri e
Hoki wairua mai ki a mātou, tō whānau o Te Kura Ara Raki
Ahakoa tō tinana e takoto nei ki Wairarapa
Ko tō wairua kua hoki kē ki a Ruahine e
Anei rā ō mokopuna e whakamaua ana i ōu kupu
Mahia te mahi mō Te Kura Ara Raki
E te tuahine a parata Neitana, te kōtiro a Koro Meiha
I te wā pūmau e te Kōkā, e Whaea Reiri e
Whiti mai rā e te kurawhiti me tō ātaahua
Kānapanapa mai tō rerehua
i te rangi ki runga
Tērā te kurawhiti e
Ka mihia te ata hāpara
Hī ake ana te ataakura
i te tangi manu e
Whiti whiti mai rā e
Mahuetia rā te pōuri
Whakamaheatia te rangi ki runga
Whiti whiti mai rā e
Whiti mai rā te kurawhiti me tō ātaahua
Kānapanapa mai tō rerehua
i te rangi ki runga
Tērā te kurawhiti e...
Ko Puanga kei runga
He whetū takitahi
Ko te Maru o te tau
He Hautuku
Ka ara anō Puanga
He whetū takiata
Ko tētahi o te tau
He Hautapu
Ko Atutahi kei runga
Te whetū tohunga
Ko te matamata o te tau
He Haupawa
Ko Rēhua kei runga
Te whetū ariki
Ko te matiti o te tau
Hauora
Auē Ihowa, tiakina tō iwi mōrehu
E te whetū o te ata
Tiro mai ki tō iwi e noho nei
Huakina mai e koe
Te ngākau, te manawa, huarahi
Auē Ihowa auē, auē
Manaakitia mātou
Hei whakaū te waka nei
Te rangimārie
Tauparapara mō te mataora
He aha kei taku kanohi
He Manu Pekapeka
He Manu Rūrū
He Manu Kiwikiwi
He Manu Kaakaa
Kei taku kanohi
He tuu-a-nui, he tuu-a-papa
He Kuia, He Koroua e!
Te Whetū o Waipunarangi
Haramai te kōnehunehu
Haramai te hāuaua
Haramai te hūkerikeri
Haramai te ua tātā

Te Whetū o Ururangi
E tū Ururangi
Ko te whānau pupuhi
Tū te winiwini, tū te wanawana
Kia puta ko te ora o Tāwhiringi
Koia!
Kī mai nei ko Te Wharehuia
‘Whakahokia mai! Whakahokia mai!
Mai i te mata o te pene ki te mata o te arero
Kei noho kau noa hei reo mō te pepa, te pene
Tē titi kē ai ki te poho, ki te ngākau aroha’
Inā moe ko te tipu ki te whenua
Ka kore ko te pūāwai, te manahua
Inā toua ki te one haumako, ki te ngākau o te tangata
Me pēhea e kore ai e tūperepere, e pāhau tea
E rangona ai tō kakara, e tōku reo, e ō iwi puta noa
I Te Waka, i Te Ika a Māui tikitiki-a-Taranga e takoto nei?
He aha te aha ka pahawa i te uapare? He kore! He kore! He kore!
He aha te aha ka pahawa i te hurikiko? He nui! He nui! He nui!
Tēnā kia whakatōrea ake – kia whati mai ko te tai pari ki uta me pao
Waihoki kainga te kai kei ao ake te rā, he tau nihoroa
Engari kē ia me tau hāwere, me tau pōike, tau atu, tau atu
Kei tōku reo, auraki mai rā, waihape mai rā
Ki tōku poho, ki tōku ngākau, ki tōku arero, ki tōku katoa
Kia ora tonu ai koe i ngā tau tini, tau mano
Mō te ake, ake, haere ake nei. Hei!
(He ngeri mō te reo Māori)
