HE WAIATA, NO NAMATA.

Pikoi nuku,
Pikoi rangi;
Tena te tangata,
Ka riro, ki Wiwi,
Ki Wawa, ta te humi kawenga,
Te waea te ara ki tona whare,
Ta te mate kai hanga,
Ka ahiahi te ra i te nohoanga,
Ka wherori au ki raro ra,
Wherori ana ki te umu hurori, na Parekorau,
A, he whakama kei roto,
He whakama kei roto ko te haerenga atu,
Te hamumu mai te waha,
Hamumu mai te waha,
Kia tika au i te ara ki Puhau ra,
Ka hoki mai ai e.
