I te taha o tōku pāpa, i hoea mai te waka o Tainui e ōku tūpuna ki Kawhia moana, Kawhia kai, Kawhia tangata.
Kakepuku te maunga
Waipa te awa
Tainui te waka
Maniapoto te iwi
Ko Ngāti Puta rāua ko Ngāti Kinohaku ngā hapū
Motiti te marae
Ko Te Hungaiti te whare tupuna
I moe a Titi Kaahunui i a Rangitotohu Peneta ka puta ko Ruki Titi
I moe a Ruki Titi i a Rangi-awatea Paeuru ka puta ko Ruki Te Ruki
I moe a Ruki Te Ruki i a Waitapu Emery ka puta ko Te Pohe Ruki
I moe a Pohe Ruki i a Maureen Johanson ka puta ko tēnei e tu ake nei ko Erana ahau.
Kei te mihi, kei te mihi, kei te mihi!
