Kaea: Takahia, te ara a nga tupuna
Ki nga hapu o Ngawha
Tu mai ra, Pouerua te maunga whakahi
Tohaina atu ra, he taonga tuturu o Ngapuhi
Ko Ngawha, nga puna Waiariki
Kareariki, wahine o Uenuku
Tamahine a Rahiri
I kite, nga wai ora i roto nga ngahere
Horoia ki nga puna
Ka rongo i ona tino hua whakaora
Mo te marea, mo te hunga kopu
Haere mai, kia horoia koe ki nga Waiariki
Kia rangona ona whakarauora katoa
Whakarongo ki tona wairua hiri
Nga puna Waiariki
He taonga o Ngapuhi
Ngawha te mata o tenei taonga
Tona ngakau, wairua ora te tuapapa
No te uma o Papatuanuku
Te taonga whakamatutu, whakahaumanu
Heke mai ki roto i taku puna
Kia parohetia to tinana
E nga wai whakarauora
Hakiritia te oneone ki to kiri
Nau mai, tahuti mai ra
Ki nga wai horoi o nga tupuna
Nga puna Waiariki
