HE NGERI.*

Ka tito au, ka tito au,
Ka tito au, ki a Kupe!
Te tangata, nana i hoehoe, [gap — reason: unclear]te moana,
(Te langata, nana i topetope, [gap — reason: unclear]te whenua,)
Tu ke, a Kaputi !
Tu ke, Mana ! tau ke,
Arapawa !
Ko nga tohu tena,
A taku tupuna, a Kupe,
Nana i whakatomene, Tilapua,
Ka toreke i au, te whenua nei.

* The words printed in italics are sung by the whole war party as choruses. The rest of the songs are sung by one voice.
