Unuhia te rito
O te harakeke
Kei hea ra
Te komako e ko
Kii mai ki ahau nei
He aha te mea nui
O tenei ao
Maku e kii atu nei
He tangata he tangata he tangata
Unuhia te rito - Translation
Remove the centre shoot of the flax and where will the bellbird be, where?
It will mill around, fly inland, fly seawards; and then you will ask me, what is the greatest thing in the world?
I will respond by saying: it is people, it is people, it is people!

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)
