Ko Tongariro te maunga
Ko Taupō nui a Tia te moana
Ko Te Heuheu te tangata
Ko Ngāti Tūwharetoa te iwi
Ko Ngāti Hinemihi te hapū
Ko Te Arawa te waka
Ko Pungapunga te awa
Ko Puketapu te whenua
Ko Te Ōhaaki te wharepuni
Ko Kauriki te whareora
Ko Kauriki te marae
Tihei mauri ora!
He mihi nā te Tumuaki
Ko te wehi ki te Atua, nānā nei ngā mea katoa.
Te Arikinui Kuini Nga wai hono i te po, tēnā koe, otirā, e te whare tapu o Pōtatau, tēnā koe, pai mārire.
E te taiōpuru, e Tā Tumu, tēnā koe,
E te whare o Te Heuheu, tēnā koutou.
E ngā mate o te wā, takoto, e moe, oti atu ai e.
E ngā mana, e ngā reo, e ngā karangatanga maha, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou katoa.
Nau mai ki te whārangi ipurangi o tō mātou kura. Ki konei koe kite ai i ngā āhuatanga o tō mātou kura. He kura ā-iwi mātou e ngana ana ki te whai, ki te pupuri i ngā mātāpono tuku iho.
Mauri ora, e kare mā!M
