Ka whakakao mai nei kā hau
Ahakoa i ahu mai i hea
Te Kete Ika a Rākaihautū te tuatahitaka
Nei anō te reo ka tukuna i te hau o whakamihi
Ki kā reo, ki kā mana, ki kā whakaihuwaka kua whakarauika mai i raro i te whakaaro he ora te whakapiri
Ka ora anō tā tātou kete kai i a tātou e whakapiri ana
Hei whakatikatika anō i tēnei kōrero o mua
Ko ngā hau ki ētahi wāhi, ko ngā kai ki Orariki
