Nō Ingarangi, Airani me Kōtirana ōku tīpuna

I tipu ake au i Tāmaki Makaurau ki te hauāuru

I raro i te maru o Ngā Pae Maunga o Waitakere

I te taha o te awa Whau

Ko Te Kawerau a Maki te mana whenua

He Tangata Tiriti ahau

Ko Te Atatū taku kainga

Ko Hathaway rāua ko Martin ōku whānau

Ko Shaz Hathaway tōku ingoa
