Come, thrice welcome to Maniapoto
From Ngaherenga came Maniapoto, Kinohaku, Te Rongorito and others to the bed stoll, Pukeroa.

It is a cultivated provision
Whilse small my offering
It is a seafaring provision
Come, thrice welcome to Maniapoto

Welcome to the extended land of Tawhao
The extended arms [of the people]
'Twas the elderly fold who said
Te Nehenehenui commences at the sanctified
Waters of Tawhiao to the sational plateau of
Tongariro
Come, thrice welcome to Maniapoto
A,hi!
