Ka momotu ki tawhiti ki Paerau

Ko au ki raro nei riringi ai

Te ua i aku kamo.

Moe mai, e Wano, i Tirau,

I te wā tūtata ki te kāinga

Koua hurihia.

Toka ki Taupō,

Ka paea ki te one ki Waihi,

Ki taku matua nui,

Ki te whare kōiwi ki Tongariro.

Hoki mai e roto ki te puia

Nui, ki Tokaanu,

Ki te wai tuku kiri o te iwi

E aroha nei au, ī.
