Pīhanga
Nā Eileen Mata Te Rangi

Hei tīmatanga kōrero ēnei mō te takiwā, e ai ki te kaituhituhi o te pakiwaitara nei, hei whakaatu ingoa maunga, ingoa kāinga, ingoa tīpuna hoki hei whakatū i te kaupapa. |
E te whaea Pīhanga1
E tū teitei nei i runga i te papa
Waipapa te wai ū o te whaea
Te whaea Pīhanga
I koropupū ake ngā puna o Tokaanu5
I ō tahataha
Te wāhi nohonga maunga
A Tī Oreore me Tī Katakata8
Ngā kapua pateri kaihau
Ngā kaitiaki o ngā puna
Ngā mokopuna ... ō mokopuna.
Ka takahui12 te iwi
Ka titiro ki te atatū
Ka tūhāhā a Te Rangitautahanga14
Te amokapua, te upoko āriki
I te wāhi nohonga maunga.
Ka kī ia ki tōna iwi
Kua tae ki te wā ki te hanga waka
Koinei te pūrākau o te iwi
Te Reporepo20, te tātai whetū.
