E rarau mai ngā iho - KAEA
Te pataka whakairinga kōrero
Pūmau tonu te hāere… ngāwake ake ki te hēi ora
tūhonohono mā te tere mua ko te whare kōrero
He whare Āhuru
He whare Tāpere
He whare Maire
He hiki ngā kai iwi, koakoatia nei
Ko te hekenga te whatu o te mānawa
Ngā maramara o Te Awhiorangi
Hahau i te whenua, hahau i te rangi
He ariki ngā kai a niwha…ee eeeeeee
Tēnei i te mootuu - KAEA
Ka tau a Kotare ki Maungatautari
Ko te Pukekura ko te Akatarere ko Panehākua ki te rotō o rangi
Ngā toka taritari tau nā ki puahue te taketaketanga,
Ka noho i a raa… KAUWHATA TE TANGATA!
Te mauri o te iwi e hikitia rā,
Tu mai rā ko te whekū
I kāwea mai nei
E ōku tūpuna ki tēnei whaitua
Hei iri ki runga whakarewa ake rā
Ki te Roro o te whare ko te keokeo
Mau tonu iho nei
Ko te mana o te paepae eeee
