134.-HE WAIATA TANGI.

Na Ngati-Porou. He waiata tawhito tenei kei te rohe o Ngati-Porou, e waiatatia ana; engari kua kore c mohiotia na wai i tito. (Ref.: T. Turi p. 33). E kui ma! E koro ma! Kaore nei aku mahara 1 piri mai tau tahi, e; Katahi ka tu tonu he an huriwaka Kei waho te moana, He tai whakatu kei te awa i Hangarua, e. Ko te whenua anake te amaia ana E aku mahara ki nga putea, Kia ahatia hoki a te mate hanga, Ngau atu ana te Ahi 1 a Tamatea, He paura kei tawhiti, kei Tautehere, 2 e. Ko wai e hua ake nei kei mamao? Kaore ia ra e waiho tata i te parua o te roto I mate ai a te Whakahu, Na wai ra aronui te ngau rekereke 0 nga tamlariki. Hum kuri, e, te whakawehi o te ope taua, Penei pea me tiro ake ki runga te whare, Me whakahoki roimata ki roto ra. He puna wai e utuhia, he wai kei aku kamo. He pua korau e ruia, e tipu i te warn; Tena ko Tangaroa maheni, Tirotiro noa ana ki ro pungarehu, i. 'Te AKi-a-Tamatea: —E kiia ana he ahi i toro ki tenei motu i mua, i kaia ai te whenua, nana i huna te moa. zTautehere:—Kei tetahi waiata ano e penei ana:— “Mau e rere atu tau atu ana ko Tautehere, etc.”
