He Tangi mo te Potiki Mate.
Aue! Aue! taku taonga ka riro; Aue! Aue! ka mahue nei au; He rawa ka ngaro i taku titiro; He tau kahurangi ka motu i a au: Aue ! Aue ! taku whatu, te pai! He tonga-rerewa, he tau tangiwai. Aue ! Aue ! taku ate ka haea ! Aue ! Aue ! taku potiki e i ! Ka makere tenei te hei o te whaea ; Nau ra i awaiho to awhinga nei; Aue ! Aue ! te aroha i a au ! Ka mawehe taua, e taku tau ! Aue ! Aue ! te taea te here ! Aue ! Aue ! tangihia te tau ! Me tangi eau taku manuka I'ere Ka waiho ki a au ko te kohanga kau : Aue ! Aue ! mihi kau atu au ! Ka henumi tenei, " Te tau a te rau." Aue ! Aue ! waiho au kia tangi; Aue ! Aue ! ka maringi a wai; Me tangi e au taku tau kei te rangi; Me kimi he ava e whai atu ai: Aue ! Aue ! ka uiahue ra au ! Ka wehea taua, e taku tau !
