Kataore

Ko Kataore te kaitiaki taniwha ia.
 He mokai taniwha o Ngatoroirangi.


He karakaraka ona karu,
he koi ona niho.
He nui ona karu,
He nui tona tinana.
He nui ona peke.
He tino kaha tona Takapu me to heke


He taniwha tino tere ki te kauhoe,
tino kaha ki te kai i nga tangata.

                            Toku Pepeha

Na to rourou na taku rourou

ka ora ai te iwi .

Tihei Mauri ora!

Ko Maungarangi te maunga,

Ko Otara te awa,

Ko Ngati   Ngahere te hapu,

Ko Whakatohea te iwi,

Ko Mataatua me Nukutere te waka,

Ko Te Rere te marae,

Ko Tē Iringa te whare tipuna,

Ko Whiripare te wharekai,

Ko Iharaira Te kahika Grant taku ingoa,

No reira tena koutou, tena koutou,

Tena tatou katoa.
