Nau Mai Haere Mai
Tēnei ra ka toro ngā amo o te whare o Te Puna Hauora e uta ana e tai ana,
Mai te papa o te Raupare kei Otamarakau, ki te wahapū o te Katikati huangakore kei Otāwhiwhi,
Ki te whitinga mai o tēna hukahuka moana,
Ka rere ake ki tuawhenua, nei rā te herenga waka, te herenga iwi, te herenga tangata.
Te Arawa waka kā mihi, ka ngongooki ki tōna tuarongo
Ka hoki mai ki te Awanui ki āna waka ko Takitimu, Ko Mataatua.
Te paki tu kotahi ēnei o te kimi oranga
O te whai tumanako
E mihi kau ake ki te Tini me te Mano, mai te Hiku o te Ika ki tōna Upuko, whiti atu ki te Moana o te Raukawakawa ki te Waipounamu, tae noa ki Rakiura puta noa ki te Wharekauri, te Rawhiti ki te Hauauru, Rātou hoki kua riro ake moe mai ra.
Apiti hono tātai hono, oti rā ka hoki mai ki te ao miharo o te hunga ora
Tēna rā koutou katoa.
Ko te rangi kei runga
Ko te rangi kei raro e
I ahaha
Ka tu te rangi
Ka tu tairi ki runga
O Maunganui ko Mauao
Tauranga moana
Tauranga Tangata
Te Puna Hauora
Tau tau tau ana e hi!
