he pepeha taku
tēnā koutou katoa
e mihi ana au ki a koutou
nau mai, piki mai, kake mai
taranaki ki uta, taranaki ki tai
kia tārere te awa hangatahua
mai tō mātou maunga ki te korokoro o tangaroa
ki te tai o rehua, me ko atu
e tū teitei a maunga taranaki
taku whakaruruhau i ngā hau kino o te wā
e wātea ana ahau i tōku wairua
ki roto i te wai o te moana nui a kiwa
tū tonu ngā wao nui o giant sequoia
ki karepōnia ki te tokerau, te ahi mahana
ki tāwāhi e takoto ana ngā whenua tōpū o marikena
te whenua o ōku tūpuna me ōku pitototo
i whanau mai au ki karepōnia ki te tonga
nō aotearoa ahau
kei Ōkato au e noho ana
ko Laurie tōku wahine
ko Mason tāku tama
ko Bay tāku tamahine
ko "tehiriwa" tōku ingoa
kia tau mai te rongomai
ki runga i tēnā i tēnā o tātou.
kia horahia te tika, te pono
te māramatanga me te aroha
o tētahi ki tētahi
mo ngā wā katoa.
mauri ora tātou
nō reira, tēnā koutou tēnā tātou
