Ko te reo te mauri ora
Koia ra te hā tapu nui
E taea ai tatou te kī he Māori ahau
He tāonga ka tukua iho
Mai i te puna wānanga
Te pū o te wheke, o te mātauranga
Manu Kōrero tū ki runga
Tū ake hei tohu rangatiratanga
Kia maia, kia manawanui, kia kaha pupuri
Kei ngaro nei te reo tūmanako e te iwi
Mākūkū tonu ngā paparinga
I te ngaronga atu o ngā tūpuna
Tēnei matua, te ahorei Mokonuiārangi
Ora kaha nei ko tōu moemoea
Kia hiwa ra! Kia hiwa ra!
Poua te pou ki runga, poua te pou ki raro
Takoto mai rā e te poutokomanawa
Kua tatū atu ki a kui mā, ki a koro mā
Koia ake ra tēnei te māhue mai rā
Ko ō mātauranga, ko ō akoranga ki tēnei reanga
Haere, haere, whakangaro atu rā!
Manu Kōrero tū ki runga
Tū ake hei tohu rangatiratanga
Kia maia, kia manawanui, kia kaha pupuri
Kei ngaro nei te reo tūmanako e te iwi
Kei ngaro nei te reo tūmanako e te iwi
