He mihi poroporoaki mo tc matenga o RIHIRI HONE HETANA, Pirimia o Niu Tireni, Na Nga Iwi Maori o Aotearoa o To Waipounamu. Noho mai e Whae, koutou ko to whan iu, koutou nga morehu, koutou te kirimate, noho mai i roto i te whare pouri, i te whare mate. E tangi ki to koutou mate ! Awhi mataotao i a ia ka wehe na ia koutou, kua riro kite po kua moe ite moengaroa. Ina ra ia e takoto mai nei. Takoto mai e koro kia tangihia koe o e iwi Aue ! Ka maute punga here ote waka nei. Ka ngaro koe te Kai-hautu. Te Kakakura o roto i te pokai, te Puhi o Aotearoa, te kura whakahirahira o Te Waipounamu, te mauri o te whenua, te mauri ote tangata, haere ! haere ra ! Haere atu e Pa! haere ki Paerau, takahia atu teone ki Haumu, hoatu ki era tini ite po ! Waiho te iwi mana e mae noa ! Moe mai ePa i runga ite atamira. Whakata ito mauiui. I kauria e koe te moana-nui-a-Kiwa, i roto i nga ngaru tuatea, i nga hau pukeri nui,, e ngana ana ki nga iwi, ki nga moutere nei, ki to matua-iwi i tawahi kia kite, kia mahi ite tika. Na aitua koe i kapo ki waenga moana ina e tau nei to waka i te aio. Takoto i runga i o mahi ka paenga, waiho ake era hei pou whakamaharatanga ki nga uri whakatupu. Ahakoa ngaro ito tinana, mau ana i to wairua kaha kua paoho i runga i nga tikanga, ka noho ora i roto whakakorikori ai. E te iwi, whakaarahia to tangi taukuri mo te matua ka ngaro. Te pa whakaora kua tahuri! te parepare ote iti ote rahi kua taupokina ! te Rata whakamarumaru kua whati! He hinganga totara i te wao-nui-a-Tane he matenga tino tangata ; ngarue ana te whenua.

Ko o talou ngakau hei urupa mona, ma te aroha e tieki i roto i nga tau mahi.
Hei konei ra! I hainatia e Timi Kara, e nga mema Maori me nga rangatira tane, wahine 150 o nga motu e rua nei.
