ChenPin- Mīhini Hou mō te paratha whakakī

Paratha Whakakī

Kua whiriwhiria marietiaMō ia ngau anake

Ngā rauemi mata hou, kī tonu i te reka

He kiri angiangi, he kirikiri, he matotoru te whakakī, he waiwai

Paraoa maha-paparanga i tāruatia kia pakari

Paratha Whakakī

I raro i te āhua koura ataahua, he angiangi te kiri maha-paparanga me te pepa

I muri i te ngau i te paru parai, he kakara tonu kei roto i ō ringaringa

He matotoru, he waikura hoki te whakakī

Paratha matotoru, whakakīia, taumaha

Kī tonu i te mīti tapatapahi, ngaua te wai kakara e huri ana i te arero

Kāore e taea e te tamaiti whiriwhiri te tatari ki te kai i ia rā

He whānau harikoa e kai ana

He koura te paratha, he waiwai, he reka hoki!

Ka rite ngā kai matua me ngā kai mātotoru i roto i ētahi mahi māmā noa iho

Kōwhiria he paraharaha, he paraharaha tunu hiko rānei, kāore e hiahiatia kia whakarewahia, kāore e hiahiatia kia paraihia te hinu, whakatuwherahia he ahi iti ka parai i ngā taha e rua, he ngāwari ki te kai.
