Ko te
Waiata a Horomona
1
1 Ko te waiata o ngā waiata, ko tā Horomona.
He Pai atu te Aroha i te Wāina
Te Wahine
2 Kia kihia ahau e ia ki ngā kihi a tōna māngai!
He pai atu hoki tōu aroha i te wāina.
3 He kakara pai tō ōu hinu;
ko tōu ingoa ānō he hinu kua oti te riringi;
nā reira i aroha ai ngā wāhina ki a koe.
4 Kūmea ahau; ka rere atu mātou, ka whai i a koe;
kua oti ahau te kawe e te kīngi ki ōna rūma.
Ngā Hoa
Ka koa mātou, ka hari ki a koe;
engari tōu aroha i te wāina hei maharatanga atu mā mātou.
E tika ana tō rātou aroha ki a koe!
Te Wahine
5 He mangu ahau, otiia he ātaahua anō,
e ngā tamāhine o Hiruhārama,
rite tonu anō ki ngā tēneti o Kerara,
ki ngā kākahu tauārai o Horomona.
6 Kaua e titiro mai ki ahau, nō te mea he parauri ahau,
nō te mea kua tahuna ahau e te rā.
I riri ngā tama a tōku whaea ki ahau,
meinga ana ahau e rātou hei kaitiaki mō ngā māra wāina;
ko tāku māra ia, ko tāku ake, kīhai i tiakina e ahau.
7 Whakaaturia mai ki ahau, e tā tōku wairua e aroha nei,
ko hea koe whāngai ai,
ko hea koe mea ai i tāu kāhui kia takoto i te poutūmārōtanga.
Kia rite ahau hei aha ki te māhunga taupoki
i te taha o ngā kāhui a ōu hoa?
Ngā Hoa
8 Ki te kore koe e mōhio,
e te mea ātaahua rawa o ngā wāhine,
haere atu i runga i ngā takahanga o ngā hipi,
ka whāngai i āu kūao koati
i te taha o ngā nohoanga o ngā hēpara.
Te Kōrerorero a te Tāne me te Wahine me ngā Hoa
Te Tāne
9 Kua whakaritea koe e ahau, e tāku e aroha nei,
ki tētahi o ngā hōiho o ngā hāriata o Parao.
10 He ātaahua ōu pāpāringa i ngā whiri o ngā makawe,
tōu kakī i ngā tautau o ngā mea whakapaipai.
11 Ka hangā e mātou ētahi mekameka kōura mōu,
he mea tia ki te hiriwa.
Te Wahine
12 I te kīngi e noho ana i tōna tēpu,
ka puta te kakara o tōku nara.
13 Ko te rite ki ahau o tāku e aroha nei kei te paihere maira,
e takoto nei i waenganui i ōku ū.
14 He tautau hena ki ahau tāku e aroha nei,
i ngā māra wāina o Enekeri.
Te Tāne
15 Nanā, he ātaahua koe, e tāku e aroha nei;
nanā, he purotu koe;
ko ōu kanohi kei te kūkupa.
Te Wahine
16 Nanā, he ātaahua koe, e tāku kaingākau,
āe rā, he āhuareka.
Matomato tonu anō hoki tō tāua moenga;
17 he hīta ngā kurupae o tō tāua whare,
he kauri ngā heke.
