Whakarongo mai ki tēnei waiata oriori nā Hinekitawhiti, he wahine whai mana nō te Tai Rāwhiti, he mea tito mō tana mokopuna mō Ahuahukiterangi nō Ariuru, ki Tokomaru. E karanga ana tēnei waiata i tana mokopuna me ana pānga ki ana karangaranga maha mai i Tokomaru ki Raukokore.
Mau e ki atu, ‘Na te Au-o-Mawake.'
Kia tangi mai ai o tuakana koka,
‘I haramai ra koe nga kauanga i Kaituri, na!
I haramai ra koe nga uru karaka i te Ariuru.
Nahau te mau mai i nga taonga o Wharawhara,
Hai tohu ra mohou, kai haengia koe,
Ko te Paekuru ki to taringa, ko Waikanae ki to ringa,
Hai taputapu mohou, e hine, e!'
(Te Ao Hou 7, vol. 2, nama 3 (Raumati 1954): 60)
