E nga waka, e nga reo
E nga mana, e nga hau e wha
Tena Koutou, tena koutou, tena koutou katoa
Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi Engari he toa takitini
Ko enei mahi toi he whakapuaki o toku ngākau Māori o toku Wairua Māori o toku Mauri Māori
No reira, kia ora tatou katoa
Greetings all peoples
All languages from the four winds
Greetings to you all
My strength is not that of the individual but that of the many
This work is an expression of my Māori heart my Māori spirit and my Māori life force
Greetings once again
