E ngā waka, e ngā reo, e ngā tai e whā o Te Waka o Aoraki
Nau mai, tauti mai ki te whakataetae waka ama o te motu nei i tēnei tau
Kei raro i te maru o Maukatere, te taha hoki o te awa hoki o Waimakariri
Rātou ki a rātou e ngā mate kuawheturangitia, tātou ki a tātou e ngā kanohi ora
Nō reira, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā tātou katoa
