Ka Mate
Kikiki kakaka kauana!Kei waniwania taku taraKei tarawahia, kei te rua i te kerokero!He pounga rahui te uira ka rarapa;Ketekete kau ana to peru kaiririMau au e koro e – Hi! Ha!Ka wehi au ka matakana,Ko wai te tangata kia rere ure?Tirohanga ngā rua rerareraNgā rua kuri kakanui i raro! Aha ha!
Ka mate, ka mate! ka ora! ka ora!Ka mate! ka mate! ka ora! ka ora!Tēnei te tangata pūhuruhuruNāna nei i tiki mai whakawhiti te rāĀ, upane! ka upane!Ā, upane, ka upane, whiti te ra!
