Ko Tainui te waka
Ko Hoturoa te tangata
Kei Mōkau te ihu
Kei Tāmaki te kei
Ko Mangatoatoa ki waenganui
Pare Hauraki, Pare Waikato
Te Nehenehe-nui, Te Kaokao-roa-o-Pātetere
E noho nei ngā iwi o Waikato, Maniapoto, Raukawa me Hauraki
Tū taiahahā, taiahahā!
E hirhiri ana ki te runga rawa ki tau iho ai ana tauwhirotanga ki runga i a tātou katoa. Tae noa ki a Kīngi Tuheitia e noho ana rā i te ahurewa tapu. Paimārire. Ka mau tonu te aroha mō te iwi kua okioki ki Te Hono-i-wairua - e moe. Heoi anō, ko te akaaka o te rangi ki a rātou, ko te akaaka o te whenua ki a tātou ngā mahuetanga iho. Tihē mauri ora!
Tēnā rā koutou katoa e ngā kapa o Tainui, otirā, hei ngā mātā waka kua peka mai ki te tirotiro, ki te pānui, nei ka mihi atu ki a koutou katoa. Nau mai, haere mai.
