Ko Waiapu te awa
Ko Ngati Porou te iwi
Taku manawa
Ko Te Tairawhiti
Taku manawa
Ko Te Tairawhiti
Kei Konei taku kainga
Taku whanau hoki
Kei Konei taku kainga
Taku whanau hoki
Taku aroha ko Te Tairawhiti
Taku aroha ko Te Tairawhiti
Tu mai ra Hikurangi
Me to mana rangatira
Tenei ahau, to mokopuna
O te Tairawhiti
O te Tairawhiti
O te Tairawhiti
