Tātou o Ngāti Rārua, ki te hoe
Karanga rā, karanga rā,
Karanga te pō,
Karanga te ao,
Karangahia Te Arikinui Kuiini Nga wai hono i te po ki ōna marae,
Karangahia mai rā hoki ngā uri marara ki runga ki ōna whenua tāngaengae,
Kia puna kai tahi ai tātou,
Kia puna tangata anō ai tātou.
Kei ngā uri o Ngāti Rārua, tēnei te reo karanga o tō tātou Marae, o Mirumiru-i-te-pō kia tōpū mai rā tātou ki tana Poukai e ngiha mai ai te taonga nei i poua iho ai e Kīngi Tāwhiao ki runga ki tōna rohe.
We, Ngāti Rārua, are proud descendants of the Tainui waka, originating from the western coast of the King Country in Waikato. This Poukai serves as a significant marker of our history and whakapapa.
Let's unite to honour our Kāinga Tūturu and come together as one, under the mana of Ngāti Peehi, Te Kanawa and Kinohaku, to warmly welcome Te Arikinui Kuiini Nga wai hono i te po to her first Poukai at Marokopa as Arikinui.
