Maia te tipua! Maia te rawea!
Maia te kāhui o ngā ariki!
Tēnei te rākau a Wahieroa, a Rata Tēnei te rākau a Tāne-whakapiripiri Whakapipiri te tauihu o te waka
E korihi nei ki roto o Tangaroa Tangaroa-a-te-toi e, Tangaroa-a-te-meha
Kaua e taupokihia te waka a Maia
Kaua e taupokihia te Ikanui-a-Rauru
Tukuna kia korihi ki ngā ara whakakau a Paikea Whakatekateka ana mai ngā tai
He tai karangaranga, he tai whakairotanga

Haramai ngā tai whakamana,
Haramai ngā tai whakateretere o Tukaimatangi e Ki ngā ngaru auheke i te whakawhitinga

Kia tangi te winiwini e, kia tangi te wanawana rā Ka manini te waka, kia teretere te waka
Tēnei te āwhiowhio o Tāwhirimātea
