Taku pāpā koroua

Nā Oho Kaa
Nā Kerry Gemmill ngā pikitia

Tino aroha ahau ki taku pāpā koroua.
He ngāwari te reo ahakoa kei te kohete.
He rawe ki ahau te haere i tōna taha.
Ka taea hoki e ōku waewae pakupaku

Te whai atu i a ia.
E whā ōku tau.
Ia rā, ia rā haere au ki te kura.
Ētahi rā he pai, ētahi rā he kino.
Engari i te mutunga o ia rā

I reira taku pāpā koroua hei awhi i ahau.
Hei whakarongo ki ahau. E rima ōku tau.

He kaha taku pāpā koroua ki te mahi
Peita i te whare, ngaki i ngā taru.
He pīkaokao, he hipi, he kau anō āna
Kore rawa mātau i matekai.
Kore rawa mātau i matewai. E whitu ōna tau.

I ia pō ka mutu ngā mahi
Purei kāri te pīrangi a Pāpā Koroua.
"He taimana hei patu," tāna kī.
"Ko koe e Hine taku hoa.
Patua Hine, mā te tioka.
Tino pai, ka wīni tāua." Tekau ōku tau.

I te moe tonu taku pāpā koroua
Te ata i haere ahau

ki te kura o Hato Hōhepa.
Tino mamao, tino roa.
I te rohe o Nepia rawa.
Tekau mā whā ōku tau.

He reta taku, nā taku māmā.
Kei te takoto taku pāpā koroua.
Kei te karanga taku pāpā koroua
"Kei whea koe e taku moko
Kei te kura koe e ngaro nei?"
Auē rā te aroha e.

E rua wiki i muri mai.
I mate taku pāpā koroua
I tangi ahau, i tohe ahau, me hoki ahau ki te kāinga.
Tino aroha ahau ki taku pāpā koroua.
Ko te marama o Maehe tēnei.

"E kāo," te kī a ngā None.
"Me noho tonu koe ki te kura.
Mō te marama o Hune rā anō."
I pōuri ahau ia rā ia rā.
I tangi ahau ia pō ia pō.
Tae noa ki te marama o Hune.
 
I titiro ahau ki taku whare.
Ki nga māra, ki nga hipi.
Ki te rūma o taku pāpā koroua.
I reira tonu te pākaiahi,
I reira tonu tana moenga,
me te whakaahua o pāpā koroua.
 
I haere ahau ki te urupā.
I kōrero ahau ki taku pāpā koroua.
"Moe mai rā, taku pāpā koroua.
Moe mai rā taku pāpā koroua.
A tōnā wā ka noho ahau
Ki runga anō i ōu pona."
