E noho ana....

Mōteatea: Composed by the late Irirangi Tiakiawa Tahuriorangi

•      Takitaki:  E noho ana rā au i runga i tōku Taumata i Ngongotaha...

•      Katoa:

Ka titiro whakararo au ki Rotōrua-nui-a-Kahumatamomoe

(Ki te moana i haroa nei e Ihenga )

ka tungou au ki te Motutapu-a-Tinirau

I totope ai te kawakawa

ka whakaripo i te ia ki Ohau, taka rawa au ki (Te) Roto-iti-i-kite-ai-e-Ihenga

Tukituki ana rā taku hoe ki ngā Toitoi i Okere

Mau rawa taku rere i Te Awa-Tapuika

Ki ngā hukahuka wai

•      I Tere ai taku tae atu

Ki Akeake, ki te kurae-o-te-Ihu-a-Tamatekapua.

•      E kōkō ia e ara e
