3 HE WHAKAARAARAPA Titi mai te marama, Titi mai te marama; Na taratutu, na tarawewehi, Kiharau i ponopono Kihai koe i ponopono Tau atu koe ko tawhiti Ko Tu-kapiti-nuku, Ko Tu-kapiti-rangi Waiho te tae ki a Matuku, E ara ana te matahi taua, e!—ia. HE WHAKAARAARAPA Tenei te pa; Tenei te tiwatawata; Tenei te aka te houhia nei Ko roto ko au, E! E! E! ia. SONG OF THE SENTINEL DURING A SIEGE Whilst the moon shines brightly The weapons are placed in battle array; And we are determined, while you are fearful. Our spears did not take effect, Nor did yours, for ye came not nigh. Are ye coming to the contest? Ah ye will be driven hence, For know that even the drowsy Ones of the fortress await your attack. SONG OF THE SENTINEL DURING THE MIDNIGHT HOURS Lo here is the fortress—its Inmates are watching and working. They are binding the spars of the pa With vines from the forest; And behold I'm within The enclosure! oh! oh!

E KAHU MAMAHU na JOHN W. WILSON I te taumata o Te Puke-ao-marama, Ki tua i te uira-pa, i te tohu-Uru He atarangi ka mekari e. E Kahu mamahu o te po-atarau, Toku moana-aroha Kaua e wea a koe i te Tupuhi, I te po, kei te tala rere mai e. Ka mekari he atarangi I te hopua kei hea te moko Ka miti te Wai-mate: He atarangi o he ripeka-paraire e. E kahu mamahu o te po atarau Toku moana-aroha Kaua e wea a koe i te Tupuhi, I te po, Kei te tala rere mai e. Kawe te rakau-ata i te ra nui Kua toki te taumanu o Te Waka-mahara Ki te ripeka-rakau o he tangata e. E Kahu mamahu o te po-atarau Toku moana-aroha Kaua e wea a koe i te Tupuhi, I te po, Kei te tala rere mai e. He ata; he po; he po-atarangi Ko te marama ia i nga parirau-mohua Te pungarehu o te hara kua muru— E Kahu mamahu o te po-atarau.
