Whakatauaki
Te kotahi na Turahiri ka ripo
te moana
One drop from Turahiri caused ripples
on the ocean
(It is said that all uri of Rongowhakaata were begat
from the one child of Turahiri)
Toia
nga waewae o tatou tamariki kia pai ai te tu, ki runga
i nga parae o Manutuke
Shape
well the legs of our tamariki, that they may be sprightly
upon the fields of Manutuke
