Kei tua o tenei kiri,
He iho pumanawa,
Haunga te tae kaha,
Ko roto nei taku waerea,
Tamae au e ia,
Te ringa Tami o te pakeha,
Nga kupu tapu o te kopara,
E toiorooro mai na,
Waerea kia kitea,
Ko koe ko au kau ko koe,
Taiaro taiara,
Ke tangata kau noa,
He kotiro maori ahau...
E tu atu nei ki te whakapataritari,
