Whakarongo!

Ki te reo Māori e karanga nei

Whakarongo!

Ki ngā akoranga rangatira

Nā te Atuai tuku iho ki a tātou e

Pupuritia, kōrerotia mō ake tonu

Tirohia!

Ngā tikanga tapu a ngā tīpuna

Kapohia

Hei oranga ngākau – auē

Whiua ki te āō

Whiua ki te rangi

Whiua ki ngā iwi katoa

Kaua rawa rā e tukua e kia memeha e

Whakarongo!

Ki te reo Māori e karanga nei

Whakarongo!

Ki ngā akoranga rangatira

Tēnā kia purea te hau ora e

Hē kupu tuku iho

mō tēnei reanga

He kupu tuku iho

mō tēnei reanga

Whakarongo!

Tō reo whakarongo!
