Nō Te Whanganui a Tara ahau, ko Te Ātiawa te iwi mana whenua a kora
Ko Ahumairangi tōku maunga
Ko Kumutoto tōku awa
Ko Tokomaru tōku waka
Ko Pipitea tōku marae
Ko Te Ātiawa tōku iwi
Ko Ngāti Te Whiti tōku hapū
E noho ana ahau ki Te Whanganui a Tara, ko Te Ātiawa te iwi mana whenua a konei
Ko Te Karanga O Te Te Tui Marino tōku ingoa
