HE WAIATA AROHA TENEI, MO TE WAHINE NA TE RAKAU, HAKAHAKA.

Ra te ao uru, pukohu i te uru,
Te tara, ki te Iringa, kia hikoia atu,
Me tango mai koe, he tau ki te moenga.

Iaua, e hine, kia whakaaro roto,
He whakaaronga iho, ka rere ke te tu,
Taku kiri kai-kahu, e ora na te tau.

Kei whea o neko ? e whakaputu mai ra;
Ka huri, ki te tai o Timaru, i runga,
Ki a Whahanui, e ka wehea i au;
He aroha tangi atu, naku, i konei.

Kia rei nui au,
Nga utu e rau,
O Tararua i runga,
Ki aku tau e rua;

Nana i hau miri,
I waiho ai au,
Kei te wati kino
Mai, te roimata.
