He mihi atu tēnei ki a kōrua. Haere rā, e ngā hoa aroha, whakangaro atu i a kōrua me tā kōrua tamaiti.

Tēnei te aroha te whai atu nei i muri i a kōrua. Haere rā, whakangaro atu i a kōrua ki tō kōrua kāinga, ki Ingarangi.

Haria atu tō mātau aroha ki a Kuini Rihipeti O Ingarangi. E kore mātau e wareware ki a ia.

Mā te Matua i te Rangi koutou e manaaki.

Nā tō hoa aroha,
