Winifred (Wyn) Mary Annie KARENA (nee Bishop)

Ka tanuku! Ue!

Ka tanuku! Ue!

Ka tanuku te tihi o Taranaki!

Kōrengarenga ana ngā wai o Oaonui!

Waipuketia ana ngā papa i Te Potaka, i Orimupiko! 

I te uri o Taranaki Iwi, o Ngāti Tara hapū, ka riro tītapu nei!

Ko Ruahine hoki e ngahoro nei! 

Ko Te Awa Pokere o Tamakuku e koropūpū ake nei!

Ka horo te papa whenua i Kaitoki, Ngāti Pakapaka kua pōhara! 

Ngāti Te Rangiwhaka-ewa kua pōhara!

Tini whetū ki te rangi, ko Rangitāne roimata rau ki te whenua!

I konei ka whakaae ake, Kurahaupō waka pakaru! 

Ue hā! Ue hā!
