HE WAIATA.

Kaore te pawera,
Te pakikini kei te tinana,
Whakatau rawa iho,
Te tau noa ki te whenua,
E tuia aua mai,
He warawara tupua,
Ka huri whenua e,
Ka wheroku au ka mate,
Ki mai na koutou,
Kei runga au o te taku ahi,
Kaore koa e,
Ka te riri e aku hoa,
Naku nei whakahohe,
O mahi nei, e namata,
He pai aha koia,
I nuia mai ai,
Ka pa te tinana,
Me here pipipine,
E whi te ruruku,
Ka whiti au kei Haumua,
He kai na e au,
E whakaratoa ki te tini na,
E kai mohu tonu,
Na Tiki ra i a waiho,
Kei tiriwatia,
Kei te tinana,
E mau ana.
