Tū mai Taranaki e, tiketike mai rā tātou

Roto i te kawa tapu, hāpaia tō mana

Torotika ki a Rangi

Tēnā koutou i runga i ēnei kupu akiaki a Te Rangiāhuta ki ōna pāranga ki Taranaki whānui.  Kia tiketike, kia tairanga te mana o Taranaki maunga, Taranaki whenua, Taranaki tangata.  Tēnā e Ruka, koutou tahi ko ngā huki o nehe kua riro ki te pō.  He kupu ohākī te tukunga iho, he tauira i heke mai i Hawaiki rā anō. Waihoki ko te huki o nāianei rangi, tātou e te hunga ora e takatū nei ki te mata o te whenua ...  Tihee Mouriora! 

Kua ū ki tai, kua ū ki uta, kua ū ki te tupuranga e tupu mai ai eee hai!
