Kia hora te marino,
Kia whakapapa pounamu te moana,
Kia tere te rohirohi
Kia hora te marino
te marino ara
mo ake tonu ake
Ka tuhoa te ra,
ka wairara, ka hinga.
Hutia te rito,
Hutia te rito o te harakeke.
Kei hea te komako e ko?
Ki mai ki ahau
He aha te mea nui i te ao?
Maku e ki atu e,
He tangata (katoa), he tangata, he tangata ei!
