He iti Kopara, Kahikatea, ka taea!
Tū ana ki tōku maunga ko Rangiahua. Tirotiro whakawaho ki Te Moana-nui-ā-Toi. I reira tōku tūpuna ko Tōrere-nui-ā-Rua i whakarere i tōku waka ko Tainui. Nā konā ia i rere ki ngā wai o tōku awa a Wainui. I reira moea a Manaakiao. Ka puta ko tōku iwi, ko Ngaitai!
Te wiwi nati o Porourangi. He iwi moke nō Waiapu, nō Whanga-o-Kena, nō Hikurangi.
He wiwi, he nati, he whanoke!
