Ko Kīngi Tuheitia Potatau Te Wherowhero Te Tuawhitu

Tēnei kua mahuta ki runga I te pae o mate.

‍

Takoto mai rā Tūheitia, Te Kīngi Māori o Te Motu

Takoto mai rā Tūheitia, Nōu te ara o Tainui Waka

Takoto mai rā Tuheitia, I tō whare tipuna o Māhinaarangi

Muia ana a Tūrangawaewae `mō te ao katoa.

‍

Tangi tahitia ngā iwi o te motu me te reo apakura

E haehae ake nei, aue, aue, aue te mamae e.

‍

“Homai ana koe kia ringihia iho,

E tapu ana, e ihi ana”  

Details of Kiingi Tuheitia’s tangihanga and arrangements for Ngati Porou attendance at Turangawaewe will be confirmed later today.
