HE NGERI.*

Hanga ra, he patu tutai, na,
Kati ano ra, e Kawana,
Te utu mo nga tupapaku,
Ko nga rarangi maunga, o Tawatawhiti,
Utaina atu, utaina atu hoki, a
Te Whao, ki Akarana,
Upoko moremore,
E wha, ka ao te ra, e rima, ka ao le ra,
Mei tata ki te whakangarungaru o Ponga,
Ka ao te ra,

* Sung by the Native Allies after the fall of the Ruapekapeka, when they found, amongst the killed of the enemy, a bald-headed and deformed heathen priest of the name of Te Whao.
