NAA KIINGI TAAWHIAO
Maaku anoo e hanga toku nei whare
Ko ngaa pou oo roto he maahoe, he patatee
Ko te taahuuhuu he hiinau
Me whakatupu ki te hua o te rengarenga
Me whakapakari ki te hua o te kawariki.
I shall build my house from the lesser known trees of the forest.
The support posts shall be maahoe and patetee, and the ridge pole of hiinau.
My people will be nourished by the rengarenga and strengthened by the kawariki.
