Nā, i te mutunga o ngā rā ka anga ake ngā kanohi ōku, o Nepukaneha, ki te rangi, ā, hoki mai ana tōku ngākau mahara ki ahau.
Ā, whakapaingia ana e ahau te Runga Rawa,
whakamoemiti atu ana ahau,
Whakahōnore ana i a ia, e ora tonu ana hoki ia,
he rangatiratanga mau tonu tōna rangatiratanga.
Ko tōna kīngitanga anō kei tērā whakatupuranga,
kei tērā whakatupuranga.
