‘Hoea too waka tapu kia tau atu ki te Puketaapapatanga a Hape Tirotiro kau atu ki ngaa wairere o te Maanukanuka-oo-Hoturoa 

E uu ana ki te awa Ooruarangi 

Takatakahi ngoo tapuwae ki te Ihu oo Mataoho 

Kia tae ake ra ki te Waharoa oo Makaurau 

Ka tuu te Tupuna a Taamaki Makaurau e poowhiri ana 

Nau Mai, Haere Mai!’

Hapuu are Ngaati Te Ahiwaru and Ngati Mahuta of Te Wai-o-hua iwi, which affiliate with the Waikato-Tainui confederation.
