Hauraki Iwi History

KO TE TANGI TENEI, A NGA TAMARIKI TOKORUA, I TE ARAHANGA AI, I A RAUA, KIA PATUA, E TE TAMA, A HONGI-HIKA, I TE PA O PAHIRUA, I TE TOTARA, KEI HAURAKI. Kaore te aroha! e komingomingo nei, Te hoki noa atu, i tarawahi awa, He kore tohunga mana, hei wehe ki te wai, Kia hemo ake ai, te aroha i a au. Tenei ka tope mai, te uhi a Mataora, He kore no Tukirau, kihai ra i waiho, Hei whakawehi e-i, mo te hanga i raro nei. Noku, nga turituri pawera rawa, au, Taku turanga ake, i te hihi o te whare, E rumaki tonu ana, he wai kei aku kamo.
