Waiata

Kotahi rākau mokemoke e

E rua ngā waewae mō te hikoi e

E toru ngā tāra mō te hoko kai

E whā ngā hau e pupuhi ana

E rima ngā whetū kimokimo mai

E ono ngā hēki i te kohanga

E whitu ngā tae o te kopere

E waru ngā ringa o te wheke

E iwa ngā waiata pārekareka e

Tekau ngā hoa he pai ki ahau
(repeat last line)

Tane Mahuta

Kia rite koe, ki te totara

E tu te rangatira

Ki runga i te whenua

Mauri ora, te wairua o te totara

E tu, E tu, E tu, Tane Mahuta

Horahia ngahere

Purea nei (hei ha) e te hau (makere)

Makere ana

E tu, E tu, E tu Tane Mahuta( e tu e tu)

E te Ariki

E te Ariki…. Whakarongo mai rā ki a mātou

E te Ariki... Tītiro mai rā ki a mātou

Tēnei mātou ō tamariki

E whakapono ana mātou ki a koe

Aue…. Aue …..

Te Matua, te tamaiti, wairua tapu e
