Tēnā koutou

ko Whangatauatia te Maunga

ko Tinana te Waka

ko Tumoana te Tangata

ko Wairoa te Awa

ko Ngati moetanga te hapu

ko te Ohaki te Whare

i ahu mai ahau i nga tatai whakapapa o Te Rarawa

Tēnā koutou kātoa

Ko Levi Herrett Tōkū ingoa

I ahu mai ahau I ngā tātai whakapapa o ngāti kahu

Ko mamaru te waka

Ko te parata te tangata

Ko maungataniwha te maunga

Ko oturu te marae

Ko tokerau te Moana

Ko ngai tohianga me ngāti taranga ngā hapū

Ko mangataiore te awa

The song "Muriwhenua Waiata" was written by Ross Norman, saana Waitai-Murray, and Te Paea Waitai of Ngāti Kuri. They are kaumātua (respected elders) from the Ngāti Kuri iwi. The song was composed to celebrate all the iwi of the Far North, including Ngāti Kuri, Te Aupōuri, Te Rarawa,Ngāi Takoto, and Ngāti Kahu. It also emphasizes the importance of unity and banding together. The song also commemorates their efforts in protecting indigenous species, land, and property.

The waiata was later sung and recorded by one of the composer's mokopuna (grandchildren), Kapowairua Waitai, and her whānau band, Papa's Pack. Kapowairua Waitai was one of the lead singers of Papa's Pack. The song was released 50 years after the Māori Language Petition was delivered to ParliamenT.
