Ko Remutaka te maunga e rū nei taku ngākau
Ko te awa kairangi te awa e mahea nei aku māharahara
Nō Wainuiomata ahau
E mihi ana ki ngā tohu o nehe, o Hutt Valley e noho nei au
Nō Ireland ōku tīpuna ki Aotearoa i te tau 1950
Ko tēnei taku mihi ki ngā tāngata whenua o te rohe nei. Ka mihi hoki au ki ngā tohu o te rohe nei. Nō reirā, tēnā koutou katoa
Ko Upper Hutt School te kura

Ko Judith tōku mama
Ko Keith tōku papa

Ko Naylene tōku ingoa

nā koutou, tēnā koutou katoa
