Tumuwhakarae

Tae mai ki koneki me to moemoea mo te whenua mo tou ao hou.
Waihongia nga hara nga poharatanga o tou Ao hurihuri.
Nui nga tohu  nui nga hiahia tiro whakararo ki nga Tumuwhakarae o te whenua kia mahara no hea koe! no wai koe! 
Ahakoa kei konei koe e mohio ana matou e hara no konei koe! No reira tiro whakarunga kia matou nga Tumuwhakarae o te whenua.
Mai i te pepa e kii ae no konei koe, erangi e mohio ana ehara tenei i tou kainga tuturu no reira aroha ki te whenua, aroha ki te hunga nei, tiro whakarunga kia matou nga Tumu whakarae o te whenua.
