E tū ana au ki runga i Te Rae o Pāpāmoa.
I stand atop Te Rae o Pāpāmoa
Titiro whakawaho au ki te awa o Wairākei
I look out to the river of Wairākei
Papaki kau ana ngā tai o Te Moana-a-Toi ki runga o Te Ākau
The waves of the great ocean of Toi crash upon the beaches of Te Ākau
Ko Ngā Pōtiki ki uta, ko Ngā Pōtiki ki tai
We acknowledge the mana whenua of NgĀ Pōtiki from land to sea.
