TŪTŪ PAI TE PUEHU O WHANGAPĒ
Piki mai tāku manu, kake mai tāku manu, ki te taha o te wai nui, ki te taha o te wai roa. Ka tu te Manu Wairua, Te Hau Āwhiowhio ki tai, ka whakakikii, ka whakakakaa. Nau mai, piki mai, haere mai.

E papaki kau ana te tai o Whangapē ki raro iho i te maunga tapu o Whakakoro - tū tonu, tū tonu Whakakoro te Maunga Moana.

Ka titiro atu ra ki te awa tapu o Awaroa, rere ki uta, rere ki tai.

Ka huri atu ki te marae o Te Kotahitanga, te whare tūpuna e whakaruruhau i a mātou, nga hapū - ko Ngāti Haua rāua ko Te Tāwhiu - tū tonu, tū tonu Te Kotahitanga.

Ka titiro atu ra ki te maunga tapu o Rangiputa - tū tonu, tū tonu Rangiputa te Maunga Whenua.

Titiro ki ngā maunga,
Titiro ki ngā moana,

Titiro atu ki ngā tapu o Te Hautapuki, Matanginui, Rangitoto, Rahurahu - Te okiokingā o rātou mā

Whakakoro titiro,
Ki Rawhitiroa,
Ki Rangiputa,
Tū tonu rā,
Tū tonu rā.
