He Mihi

E Te Pounamu o taku Manawa
Huri ake tō mata ki ngā Hau e Wha
Piki ake kake mai ki Te Tihi o Te Maunga Teitei
Whai haere atu ana Te Rau O Te Huia
Hei Piki Kotuku
Hei Mana mōhou
Hei pārure ī o wehi
Ki Te Ao Mārama
Ki Te Ao Hurihuri
Ki Te Ao Hou.
Tū mai rā, tū mai rā, tū mai rā
E te iwi e…Maranga mai, e oho ake ai, Awhinatia mai, awhina atu mai hei kaiarahi mo o tātou mokopuna ngā rangatahi o tenei Ao

Oh, Treasure of my Heart…..
