Summary

Ka heke mai I nga tatai whakapapa o te waka o Ngāti Kahu
I arahi a Mamaru I a mātou I Rangiatea ki tenei whenua tapu
Ka titiro atu ki te tihi o Maungataniwha me Kotipu e kohimuhimu ana ki te rangi
E ripo nei Tokerau te moana
E rere ra te awa a Mangataiore
Tu kaha taku Marae o Oturu i te ao, i te po
Ko Ngāti Taranga me Ngai Tohianga nga muka no te taura whiri o aku Hapū
He mokopuna ahau no Ngāti Kahu
Ko Owena Zanders toku ingoa
