1 Auē te mate mō te pā toto!
2 Ko te haruru o te whiu,
3 Ko ngā kaieke hōiho e ekeeke ana,
4 He maha hoki nō ngā kairautanga o te wahine ātaahua i kairau nei;
5 “Nanā, hei hoariri tēnei ahau mōu,”
6 Ā, ka makā e ahau he mea whakarihariha ki runga ki a koe,
7 Nā, ko te hunga katoa e kite ana i a koe
8 He pai ake rānei koe i Noamono,
9 Ko tōna kaha ko Etiopia,
10 Heoi, kua whakaraua atu ia,
11 Tērā anō koe ka haurangi,
12 Ko ōu pā taiepa katoa ka rite ki te piki
13 Nanā, he wāhine ōu tāngata
14 Utuhia he wai mōu mō te whakapaenga,
15 Ka pau koe i te ahi i reira,
16 Ko āu kaihokohoko
17 Ko ōu tāngata i te pōtae kīngi,
18 Kei te moe āu hēpara,
19 Kāhore he whakamāhunga i tōu pakaru;
