| Tōia mai1 te waka nei Kūmea mai te waka nei Ki te takotoranga i takoto ai Tiriti2 te mana motuhake3 Te tangi a te manu e4 Pīpī-wha-rau-ro-a5 Kūi! Kūi! Kūi! Whitiwhiti ora! Hui e, tāiki e. | Haul this canoe closer haul the canoe here to its special resting place; the Treaty gives us our autonomy. May the cry of the bird, the shining cuckoo - Quee! Quee! Quee! - signal a change for the better. Draw together, beome intertwined! |
