i mea nei,
‘Haere ki tēnei iwi, mea atu,
Rongo noa koutou, e kore e mātau;
titiro noa koutou, e kore e kite.
Kua mātotoru hoki te ngākau o tēnei iwi,
he pūhoi ngā taringa ki te whakarongo,
ō rātou kanohi kua whakamoea e rātou;
kei kite ngā kanohi, kei rongo ngā taringa,
kei mātau te ngākau,
ā, ka tahuri rātou, ka ora i ahau.’
