Ki ngā mate huhua o te ao, ki ngā whakatipuranga kua ngaro i roto i ngā tau, moe mai rā, moe mai rā. Ka hoki atu ki te ao mārama, rātou ki a rātou, tātou ki a tātou.
Ka nui te mihi ki te hunga ora, e whai ana i ngā tapuwae o rātou mā, me te whakarite i ngā tikanga tuku iho hei oranga mō te iwi.
Tēnā koutou katoa
