Te Maara Reo o Iranui, Kura Reo ki Uawa.

"Whakaorangia i te whitau pani waha o te reo makomako o Ngāti Porou ki ōna ngutu ake.”

Ko Hikurangi te maunga,
Ko Waiapu te awa,
Ko Ngāti Porou te iwi.
Ko Porourangi, Ko Hamoterangi ngā Arikinui.
Ko Ropata Wahawaha te Kaiwhakapumau i Toku Ngati Poroutanga.
Nana i tiki mai Whakawhiti Te Rā.
I whakataukī ai a Karuwai “Ka hanga te tangata, te hanga a te tangata.”
Tihei Taruke ki te whaiao ki te ao mārama.

Ko taku kawa nei ko te kawa Raupauna No te Kawitiwiti, No te Katoatoa, o Hinekehu, o Materoa, o Rakairoa, o Ruataupare, o Iritekura.
He rongoa mo te motu!
Nana tātou i whaakaraara ki te ao tū roa nei.
Taku wahine rangatira e tipu, e rea.
Taku tāne rangatira e tipu, e rea.
Whakaea to uru tapu ki taiao nei.
