“Rukuhia te mātauranga, ki tōna hōhonutanga, ki tōna whānuitanga, ki tōna tiketiketanga” Tēna koutou e te whānau Tēnei ka mihi ake ki a koutou ka pānui, ka karakia, ka himene, ka mōteatea, ka haka nei i wēnei waiata, haka, karakia hoki hai whakaoho i te wairua o ngā mātua tūpuna o tēnei rohe o te waka o Mataatua. Ka tangi te ngākau kia rātau mā kua wehe atu ki te pō, haere, haere atu rā. Mā roto mai i wēnei taonga tuku iho ka oho mai anō rātau ki waenganui i a tātau. Anei te karakia whakatau mō te tipuna nei a Wairaka. Nō reira, Piki mai kake mai rā Homai te waiora ki au E tū tēhu ana i te pō, pō Wairaka i ora ai e Papaki tū ana ngā tai ki Te Reinga Ka pō, ka ao, ka Awatea
