Pounamu Rama Nei
Pōkarekare ai
te pounamu rama nei!
Me aha koa rā, ē,
ngā ture a te iwi!
Tenei ka inumia, kia wawe,
ko te pau,
Te hanga a te kakī
e toro nei ki te rama,
Rama!
'Auaka ahau, e I',
e whakawehia mai.
Tukua te tamara
kia tahu i roto rā,
Ki te kai haurangi nāhau,
e te Kuini;
E kapo noa atu rā
ki runga ki te kaute:
Haute!
