Karakia - Tuia i runga

Tuia i runga

Tuia i raro

Tuia i roto

Tuia i waho

Tuia i te herenga tāngata

Ka rongo te pō

Ka rongo te ao

Rire rire hau paimarire

Toia mai te waka nei

 Toia mai te waka nei

Kumea mai te waka nei
Ki te takotoranga i takoto ai
Tiriti te mana motuhake

Te tangi a te manu e
Pīpī-wha-rau-roa
Kui! Kui! Kui!
Whitiwhiti ora!
Hui e, tāiki e.

Haul this canoe
drag the canoe up here
to its resting place;
the Treaty gives us our autonomy.

May the cry of the bird,
the shining cuckoo
- Quee! Quee! Quee! -
signal a change for the better.
Draw together, become intertwined!
