Te Ātaahua Hoki o te Wāhine Mārena
Te Tāne
1 Nanā, he ātaahua koe, e tōku hoa;
nanā, he ātaahua koe!
Nō ngā kūkupa ōu kanohi
i muri i tōu ārai.
Ko ōu makawe, koia anō kei te kāhui koati e takoto
haere ana i te taha o Maunga Kireara.
2 Ko ōu niho, ānō he kāhui hipi uha
kātahi tonu ka oti te kutikuti,
i haere mai i te horoi;
rite katoa rātou i te māhanga,
kāhore hoki he mea pakoro i roto i a rātou.
3 Ko ōu ngutu, ānō he aho ngangana,
āhuareka ana tōu māngai.
Rite tonu ki tētahi wāhi o te pamekaranete
ōu rahirahinga i muri i tōu ārai.
4 Rite tonu tōu kakī ki te Pourewa o Rāwiri,
he mea i hangā hei iringa mō ngā patu,
kei reira nei ngā whakangungu rākau kotahi mano e iri ana,
ko ngā whakapuru tao katoa a te hunga mārohirohi.
5 Ko ōu ū e rua rite tonu ki ngā kūao e rua,
he māhanga nā ngā anaterope,
e kai ana i waenga i ngā rengarenga.
6 I te mea kīanō i mātao noa te rā,
ā, kīanō i rere noa ngā ātārangi,
ka haere ahau ki te maunga maira,
ki te pukepuke parakihe.
7 He ātaahua katoa koe, e tōku hoa;
kāhore hoki ōu koha.
8 Tāua ka haere atu i Repanōna, e tōku hoa,
tāua atu i Repanōna.
Mātakitaki ai i te tihi o Amana,
i te tihi o Heniri rāua ko Heremona,
i te nohoanga o ngā raiona,
i ngā maunga o ngā reparo.
9 Riro pū tōku ngākau i a koe, e tōku tuahine, e tōku hoa;
riro pū tōku ngākau i tētahi o ōu kanohi,
i tētahi o ngā mekameka whakapaipai o tōu kakī.
10 Anō te ātaahua o tōu aroha, e tōku tuahine, e tōku hoa,
Anō te pai o tōu aroha, nui atu i te wāina!
Ko te kakara hoki o ōu hinu, nui atu i ngā kīnaki kakara katoa.
11 He honi kei ōu ngutu, e tōku hoa, e māturuturu ana;
he honi, he waiū kei raro i tōu arero;
ko te kakara hoki o ōu kākahu,
koia anō kei te kakara o Repanōna!
12 He kāri kua oti te tūtaki tōku tuahine, tōku hoa;
he manawa-whenua kua oti te pāpuni, he puna kua oti te hīri.
13 Ko ngā mea e wana ana i a koe he kāri pamekaranete,
he pai whakarere ngā hua;
he hena, he rākau nara,
14 he nara, he hapirone, he karamu, he hinamona,
me ngā rākau parakihe katoa;
he maira, he aroe,
me ngā mea nui katoa o ngā kīnaki kakara.
15 He puna koe nō ngā kāri, he poka wai ora,
he awa totō mai hoki nō Repanōna.
Te Wahine
16 E ara, e te hauraro;
haere mai hoki, e te tonga!
Pupuhi mai ki tāku kāri,
kia rere ai ngā kīnaki kakara ki waho.
Tukua tāku e aroha nei kia haere mai ki tāna kāri,
ki te kai i āna hua pai.
