12.—HE WAIATA NA HERA HAWAI (Ngati-Porou).

Ko tenei waiata na Hera Hawai, no Te Ariuru, no Tokomaru. I moe ia i a Aperahama Tawaha, nana a Raiha Kamau, ka moe i a Hamiora Te Kanehe, nana a Ketekete. He tuahine a Hera no Ihaka Huhu raua ko Heremia Tauirangi. Na Ihaka a Pineamine Huhu, ka moe i a Heni Teopaipa, nana a Te Urupa Huhu, ka moe i a Keita Harahara (tamahine a Tumaurirere raua ko Riria te Wera). Kei te ora nga uri. 1 Kai kinikini ai te mamae i ahau, e, To tatatia ra, ki wawe an te mate; Koi noho au i te ao taka macro 1 ai, e, Haere maiangi ai, anewa 2 raumati ai e.

2 Hirihiritia 3 ra, e hika, to takiri, e, No te mea i ahau kei rangi tawhiti rawa; He tira koua tu, koua rohea i mua ra, e, Te ika a te whiu, ate ta, ate hinga noa i ahau, e. 3 Ko aku haere hoki e aro nui atu ra, e. He mea tenei au kia tiro noa atu, Ko Kopuatai 5 e kore nei e tahuri, e, Ka piua e te tai ko au hai tokorua, e. HE WHAKAMARAMA: l Maero. —He kongenge, he ngoikore, ka maanu noa . 2 Anewa. He pera ano i te macro. Ina te korero: “ Kahore he iwi i te ngaunga a te ra; anewa noa ai.” Hirihiritia.—Karakiatia ki nga karakia e rite ana. Te ika ate whiu. Kei te ngaro tenei . s Kopuatai. He toka kei te one i Tokomaru e tu ana.
