E kore e warewaretia i tō mahi whakapau kaha moo te iti me te rahi otiraa moo a tātou nei hāpori hoki. E Koro e moe, e oki ki ngō mātua tupuna.

Inamatatia ruumemene too iti, me too rahi moou te kaupapa.

Moou te tai ahiahi mooku te tai awatea Ka kata te poo, ka kata te poo, Ka tangi hotu te ao, ka tangi hotu te ao.
