Kia tōpū mai tātou, ka tuku ai i ō tātou reo kia rere ki ngā tōpito katoa o te puku o Tāmaki Makaurau hei tohu i te tīmatanga mai o ētahi wiki e toru e rewa ai te ngākau i te toi, i te ahurea, i te whakanui, i te kotahitanga anō.
Piri mai kia whai wāhi ai ki te karakia, ki ngā tikanga, ki te kapa haka anō ka arahina e Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei. Kia rere ngātahi tō reo me tērā te kaiwhakataki, o Pere Wihongi, rāua ko te ringapuoro, ko Maaka Pohatu, ka waiatahia ana ngā waiata Māori i rangona i tō tamarikitanga – ko ‘Pōkarekare Ana’, ko ‘Tūtira Mai Ngā Iwi’, ko ‘E Pāpā Waiari’ ērā, ka mutu, he waiata anō ka āpitihia ki te rārangi waiata. Ka kitea ngā kupu o ēnei waiata ki te Atamira Matihiko, ā, ka taea hoki e koutou ko ō hoa, ko tō whānau anō, te ako tōmua i ngā kupu mā te toro ki tā mātou hongere TiriAta.
