Tihei ki te whei ao

Ki te ao marama.

He rau aroha

te rongo i te ra nei,

mo ratou kua wehe

Haere atu ra

Haere atu ra

Haere atu ra

Ka mihi ki nga iwi o te Whanganui a Tara

Tātai whetū ki te rangi, mau tonu, mau tonu 

Tātai tangata ki te whenua, ngaro noa, ngaro noa

E te hunga mate;

Kua ngaro rā koutou, ki te pū o mahara.

Tēnei mātou ka auē, tēnei mātou ka auhi

Kei āku rangatira, ngā māngai o te taiao 

Nau mai hoki mai ano ki tēnei kaupapa angitu

Ahakoa he nui ngā mahi kei mua,

kia whakamaumahara ki tēnei:

He pai ake te iti, i te kore

Tēnā tātou katoa.

Kei aku rangatira, e ngā taiohi, e ngā kaiarahi,

e ngā kaiawhina o ngā ropu maha me ngā tini kaupapa

Tēnā koutou

Nōu te aro māngai, mo Aotearoa.

Tēnā koutou katoa.

Nau mai haere mai ki Te Whare Kawana.

Rau rangatira mā, e kui mā, e koro mā, e huihui nei, tēnei aku mihi nui ki a koutou. Nau mai haere mai ki te Whare Kawana

Kia ora tātou katoa. 

(A special welcome to Sir Graeme Dingle and Jo-Anne, Lady Dingle.)

Kei āku nui, Kei āku rahi

Nau mai, piki mai i runga i te aroha ki te kaupapa o te ra

Tēnā koutou, Tēnā koutou, Tēnā tātou katoa

To everyone who has gathered in recognition of this most important day, welcome.
