Ma Wai Ra (1933)
I runga ahau o Ngapuhi
Ka tae ake o rongo
Ka piri mai ko te aroha
Ka kai kino e
Hoki atu taku tangi
Te marae o Kapohanga
Ki o koringa, e Pine
I te oranga e
Ma wai ra e taurima
Te marae i waho nei?
Ma te tika, ma te pono
Me te aroha e
Tau tahi, tau rua
E kore koe e wareware
Ka piri mai ko te aroha
Hei hoa haere e
Piki atu, heke atu
Nga rori ki Te Reinga
Piki heke, tahi atu
Me te aroha e
I mahara hoki au
He kai pai te aroha
Kaore ia
He kai kawa e
I runga ahau o nga hiwi
Ka pai na taku titiro
Ki te ara i nunumi ai
Nga tira haere e
Kei huia mai koutou
Kaore he aroha
Kei roto i ahau
E kai ana e
