Ngā mātāpono ārahi
E whā ngā mātāpono ārahi e noho ana hei tūāpapa mō Tū Rangatira:
Ka taea tonutia e te Māori | Ahakoa ko wai te ākonga Māori, he mutunga kore ngā mea ka taea e ia. |
He taonga tonu te Māoritanga | Ahakoa ko wai te ākonga Māori, he taonga motuhake anō tāna, arā, ko tōna Māoritanga tērā. |
Nō roto tonu i a koe te kaha | Ahakoa ko wai te ākonga Māori, nō roto tonu i a ia te kaha e ekea ai e ia ngā taumata, i runga i tana tū hei Māori. |
Te mana motuhake | Ahakoa ko wai te ākonga Māori, e tika ana anō kia noho ia ki tēnei ao, kia ako anō ia i runga i te mana motuhake o te tangata whenua o Aotearoa. |
