Karanga mai rā e ngā hau e whā o te kura nei….

Te Kura Takawaenga o Otatara e….

Karanga mai rā, karanga mai rā, karanga mai rā……

I hoea mai rā i tawhiti nui

I hoea mai rā i tawhiti roa

I hono tātou i tawhiti pāmaomao

[Kia tū tonu tātou]

Kia mau! Ki te manaaki

Kia mau! Ki te tiaki

Kia mau! Ki te mā-tā-toa …. Hī ! (x2)

[He mihi ngā whanau-ā-kura nei, ki ngā taonga nō Ngāti Kahungunu e..]

Ko Kaweka te paemaunga, tū rangatira e

Ko Mohaka he awa rere mai, Maungaharuru ki uta, Tangitū ki tai

Ko Tāreha he manukura, he rangatira rongonui e

Ko Takitimu he waka matauranga, te waka tapu o Tamatea-ariki-nui

Whāia te matauranga Ka taea e koe, e tātou katoa

Te eke ki ngā taumata teitei….

[Kia tū tonu tātou]

Kia mau! Ki te manaaki

Kia mau! Ki te tiaki

Kia mau! Ki te mā-tā-toa …. Hī ! (x2)
