Ki a Ngāti Whātua Iwi,
Me ngā Iwi katoa o Aotearoa,
Me ngā Iwi katoa o Aotearoa,
Tēnei ka tuku mihi māhana,
Mai i te Kuini o Aotearoa,
Mai i taku hoa rangatira,
Me taku whānau whānui,
Tēnā koutou katoa.
To Ngāti Whātua Iwi,
And all Iwi of New Zealand,
I bring warmest greetings,
From the Queen of New Zealand,
From my wife,
And from all my family,
Greetings to you all.
