Mana Pounamu

Taramakau, Arahura, Hokitika, Totara, Mikonui e

Kakapotahi, Waitaha, Wanganui, Pouerua

Ko te rohe potae e!

Whataroa,  Waitangi Tahuna,  Okarito e

Tatare,  Waiau,  Omoeroa,  Waikukupa e!

Piki ake ki Te Weheka,  Aoraki,

Ohinetamatea e

Karangarua,  Manakaiaua tata atu ki

Makaawhio e!

Ko Aotea te aiorangi mo te whanui e

Huri kau atu ki Mahitahi me te taniwha i te maru a Maui e!

Whiti atu ki te matuaiwi o te Tangiwai e

Tahi ka hoki mai i Piopiotahi ki te Mana Pounamu e!

Kokiri!
