"Mai i te motu tapu o Waikawa, ka whiowhio mai te hau Ki Te Mahia mai Tawhiti. Pōrutu ana te tai ki Taiporutu. E tūtata ana tōku kāinga ki Te Ara a Paikea, me Ila Whenua.
From the sacred isle of Waikawa, the winds whistle over Te Mahia mai Tawhiti. Then the sea resounds upon Taiporutu. My home is near The Pathway of the Whales and the Mauri of the Whales.
