Kei nga whitiki o te ki
Kei nga puni korero
Kei nga ihi, nga wehi, nga mana
Tena koutou katoa!
Tena ka tahuri atu ki nga mate putuputu o te wa. Whakawharikihia kia tangihia tahitia ai tatou. Ngai aitua haere! Hoatu! Whakangaro atu ra.
Ritua te po, nau mai te ao marama ki a tatou e mahue nei.
E hika ma, nau mai, whakatau mai ki te kaupapa nana tatou i to mai ki uta!
