Haere mai ki ahau ki Maniapoto e

Haere mai i Ngāherenga ki te moenga Pukeroa, ko taku rourou iti ā-haere maringi kai whenua
Ko taku rourou iti ā-haere maringi kai moana, haere mai ki ahau ki Maniapoto e

Haere mai i Ngāherenga ki te moenga Pukeroa, ko taku rourou iti ā-haere maringi kai whenua
Ko taku rourou iti ā-haere maringi kai moana, haere mai ki ahau ki Maniapoto e

Te Torohanga

Te torohanga o te whenua, te torohanga o ngā ringa, ka whakahua mai i ngāku rūruhi, i ngāku koroheke, mai i te awa whakarite ki Tongariro, Te Nehenehenui ē, haere mai ki ahau ki Maniapoto e

Te Torohanga

Te torohanga o te whenua, te torohanga o ngā ringa, ka whakahua mai i ngāku rūruhi, i aku koroheke, mai i te awa whakarite ki Tongariro, Te Nehenehenui ē, haere mai ki ahau ki Maniapoto e
Haere mai ki ahau ki Maniapoto e...Hī!
