​Teera taku waka ko Maataatua
Mai naa kuri aa Whaarei ki Tihirau
Ka hoea e Puhi ki te Taitokerau ki Hokiana
Hokiana whakapau karakia
Kai reira a Napuhi, kai reira a Te Raarawa
Teena kia hoki mai ahau ki taku Mauna kia Maunapohatu
Ki taku Awa kia Hinemataroa
Ki taku iwi kia Tuhoe
Tuhoe moumou kai, moumou taona, moumou tanata ki te pooo eee
 
Ko Hata Temo taku inoa
