Mihi 1 – Kākāno (Beginner)

Kia ora tātou te whānau o Hāto Kēneti.

Tēnei te mihi ki te kaikarakia mō ngā karakia whakaritea o tēnei rā.

Ki te whare e tū mai nei, tū mai, tū mai rā.

Otirā kia tātou te whānau kua tae mai nei, tēnā tātou katoa.

Kei te mihi hoki ki te kaupapa e whakakao nei a tātou, tēnei ka mihi.

Nō reira e te whānau, e te kaiako, koutou katoa e āku hoa, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou katoa.

Nō reira, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā tātou katoa.
