The karakia

Kia hora te marino

Kia whakapapa pounamu te moana

Hei hurahi mā tātou I te rangi nei Aroha atu, aroha mai Tātou i a tātou katoa

English: May peace be widespread, Many the sea be like greenstone; a pathway for all of us this day. Let us show respect for each other, for one another. Bind us all together.
