He Waiata Tangi mō Te Haupā o Ngāti Pāoa
He tangi mo Te Haupa, na tona tuahine.
Na te atua ranei koe,
Na te whakahi,
Na te aukume i koropatutia,
I tangihia pea te tangi o Rikiriki,
Na te whakahi,
Na te aukume i koropatutia,
I tangihia pea te tangi o Rikiriki,
Na te rau o te iwi mei ona ahu ka rarua koe,
Taku ate hoki ra, taku rata tu tahi,
Taku whakamarumaru, taku whare ki tonu
He taonga tuku mai i tawhiti
Ki te mana o te hoa, ki kona e tane,
Tawheta mai ai ko wai tohu ai?
E hoea te moana, nga mate ki te tonga i waiho
Tahi ra pea ka paku to toki,
Ki te waka ka rangona e te iwi,
Ma tama na Humu kia kumea mai,
Te kauri i te wao, tere ana ki te tonga e.
