Māori
Oi ka tākina i te kawa
Ko te kawa nui
Ko te kawa tapu
Ko te kawa tua ngāhuru mā whā
Ko te kawa waerea
Ko te kawa houhou
Ki ā Papatūānuku
Ki ā Papa-Ahurewa
Ki ā Papa-i-te-Aro-Mea
Tū ai te kawa
Owhia te kawa
Kia Tū rau ki te pūkenga tapu i hau noa mai i Hawaiiki

Eke panuku, Eke tangaroa
Whano, whano
Haramai te toki
Haumi e, hui e
Tāiki e!!

English
I commence to settle a foundation
A great one
A continuous one
A sacred one
I draw forward the covenant fourteen
The ritual of clearing
The ritual of refreshing
The purity of Earth mother
She the eternal shrine
She, the most creative
Behind this covenant
Awaken this covenant
That one may be one hundred
The supreme spirit of Hawaiiki
Move forward with intention
Draw together - surge forward
As I draw my sacred adze
By my power I gather you all
Arise. For it has been accomplished.
