Te matuku i hea?
Te matuku i Wai-aua.
Te matuku i hea?
Te matuku i Tanga-hoe.
Te matuku i hea?
Te matuku i Hinga-hope.
Te matuku i hea?
Te matuku i Pa-tea.
Te matuku i hea?
Te matuku i Whenua-kura.
Te matuku i hea?
Te matuku i Wai-tara.
He matuku aha te matuku?
Matuku tautiaki,
Tau arowhaki, tau arowhaki.
Te whakarongo, manawa,
te korero te whakarongo.
A te wananga.
Whakatikaia kia tika
Whakatorohia kia tonu,
Hau kia tonu.
