Ki Moehau raia. 
Me kawc rawa ra, 
Hei hoko paura; 
Ki tawiti riro ra, 
Ki te ketunga rimu. 
By looking at Moehau. 
He is taken to extreme distance, 
To buy powder; 
Yea, to extreme distance, 
From whence the sea-weed is 
broken up. 
lie Waiata Aroha. 
A love sons'. 
E to e te ra! rehu ki te rua, 
Ringiringi a wai, te roimata i 
aku kamo. 
He mea mahue au te hikoinga 
wae, 
You, e Taratiu, wakangaro atu 
ana. 
Nga kurae koe, o AYaiohipara, 
wakaahu ahi ana te tara ki 
miti tai. 
Kei raro taku atua e aroha nei au. 
Kati te wairua te mahi te hara- 
mai; 
Ka mutu iaranei te rangikane- 
tanga. 
0 set thou sun! sink into thy 
cavern, 
Thou causest to gush like water 
the tears from my eyes. 
I am a deserted one through the 
stepping out of the feet, 
Of thee, Taratiu, long hidden from 
my sight. 
Thy distant hills, AYaiohipara, and 
the flowing surface of the water, 
appear bright like a fire. 
My idol, whom I love, is below. 
Let thy spirit cease from visiting 
me; 
If, perchance, I may forget my 
sorrowing. 
Te Tangi a te Rangiwalcaurua. 
Te Rmgiwakmrudt s Lavient. 
Yei ka noho i te po roa o Matiti. 
Mokohiti noa te tau o taku ate. 
Yuku mai, e hine, kia piri mai 
koe; 
AYakarukeruke noa i runga i aku 
ringa. 
Kia marama au, me titiro ki uta, 
Ki te waka tuku mai, ki te ao 
rere mai. 
Paneke ake ana te tara ki Hau- 
mapu. 
Here I sit through summer’s long 
night. 
My heart is always heating for my 
beloved. 
Come near me, my daughter, and 
keep by my side; 
Thou art ever restless when Imirse 
thee. 
Obstruct not my vision while gaz¬ 
ing inland 
At the approaching canoe and the 
cloud drawing near. 
Its edge, as it rises, approaches 
Haumapu.
