Waiata Poi Hou - TE KAUPAPA MĀORI

Ko te kaupapa o te kura nei
Te kaupapa Māori e
Ko te kaupapa o te kura nei
Ko te Matauraka
Ko ahau he iti no kā hau e whā
E rapu ana i te puna wanaka 
Hei ōraka mō te piki kā wai-o-ra
Ahakoa he iti noa, he iti mapihi Pounamu
Kia kākau māhaki tātou katoa

Ko te kaupapa o te kura nei
Te kaupapa Māori e
Ko te kaupapa o te kura nei
Ko te Matauraka
Whaia te iti Kahuraki e
Ki te tuohu koe he mauka teitei e
Kia kākau māhaki tātou katoa
Ko te reo te mauri o te mana Māori

Kaia: Ko wai?
Katoa: Kāmuriwai!
