Peter Mitchener

Tēnā koe

E ngā hoa ako, tēnā koutou

Nō  Airana me, Ingarangi, ōku tīpuna

I tae mai ōku tīpuna ki Aotearoa i te tau 1800

I tipu ake au ki Whakatu

E noho ana mātou ki Waimea

Ko Waimeha te awa e mahea nei aku māharahara

Ka mihi au ki ngā tohu o te rohe nei

Ko tēnei taku mihi hoki ki ngā tāngata whenua

Ko Pete Mitchener tōku ingoa whanau

No reira, tena koutou katoa
