Tēnā koutou, Tēnā koutou, Tēnā koutou katoa.
Nō Tiamani, nō Rīpia, nō Irāki ōku tūpuna.
I tipu ake au ki Weimar Tiamani.
Engari kei Tāmaki Makaurau taku kāinga.
Nō reira, ka mihi ki te maunga ko Maungawhau me te moana ko Waitematā.
Ko Alex Unrein tōku ingoa.
Huri noa
Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou tēnā koutou katoa.
Ki āku tamariki ātaahua, ko Aalia-Filemu rāua ko Amali Iliganoa Tofilau
Ahakoa kua wehe atu a Māmā i tēnei ao,
While māmā will have left this earth.
Ko koutou te rama o tōku ao, te take i menemene ai au i ia rā. Ka whakamanawa au i tō koutou katakata, tō koutou atawhai, me tō koutou māia. Ka tino whakahī au i te tangata e tipu ana i roto i a koutou.
You are the light in my life and the reason I smile every day. Your laughter, your kindness, and your courage inspire me more than you know. I am so proud of the people you are becoming.
Ko taku tūmanako, i tēnei wā, kua matatau koutou ki ō koutou reo taketake, te reo Tiamana, te reo Hāmoa, me te reo Pākehā. Engari, kia maumahara hoki ki te reo i ngana a Māmā ki te ako i a koutou, te reo Māori.
I hope by now you are not only speaking your German, Samoan and English mother tongues but will also be fluent in the language mummy tried so hard to learn with you, Te Reo Māori.
Kia ū ki tō koutou tuakiri, kia whakahī i tō koutou whakapapa. He tangata moana koutou, he uri nō te moana, nō te ao whānui.
Never forget to be proud of who and what you are and where you came from. You’re tangata moana, citizens of the moana and the world.
Ka mau tonu taku aroha ki a koe.
My love for you will remain xxx
