 He waiata mō Kāpene Kuki

Nā Wiremu T. Ngata. 

I te tau 1969 ka whakahaerea e te Tari Reo Irirangi he whakataetae tito waiata hei whakanui i te Rua Rau Tau o te ūnga mai o Kāpene Kuki ki Aotearoa nei. Ko ngā rangi o ngā waiata me rangi Māori tūturu, ā, riro ana i te waiata e whai ake nei te wikitōria. 

Ko te wahine nāna i tito te waiata ko Roka Paora o te Whānau-a-Apanui. Tēnā koe, e Roka, nōu te wikitōria, nō tātou katoa te hōnore. 

I te mea ko ngā kōrero o tēnei putanga o Te Wharekura e pā ana ki a Kāpene Kuki, e tika ana me tā te waiata a Roka ki konei hei kīnaki mō ā tātou kōrero, ā, hei taonga mō roto i ngā tau. 

He waiata mō Kāpene Kuki 

Kātahi tonu i te pō nei e, 
Ehara ko Kāpene Kuki e. 
Nā te rua rau tau ka puta koe 
te moe, e hika e. 
Te tuatahi i kite ai ōku tīpuna o te Tairāwhiti. 

Nā Tūranganui i kite tuatahi 
Tō kaipuke e rere mai ana e. 
Nā te hiawai ka peka koe, 
Nā te pōhēhē ka pakū ō pū e, 
Ngā matā tuatahi i tū ai ki ōku tīpuna o te Tairāwhiti. 

Ka pahure marama ka taha koe 
Porourangi ki Tihirau, 
Ki Whangaparāoa, te ūnga waka e. 
Nā ō matā nā te wehi 
Ka rere ōku tīpuna ki uta e. 

Ka taha koe i ngā kokinga o Apanui e, 
Arā māra kai, te tini tāngata, 
Waiho iho te ingoa te Whanga o te Nui. 

Ka tau koe ki waho o Te Kaha, 
Kua hau kē tō rongo, 
Inā ngā waka e whā tekau e, 
Ki te tuatahi i kite ai ōku tīpuna o te Tairāwhiti. 

Ka titi ō niho ki te kuku o Toka-a-kuku, 
Ki te kōura, ki te ngōiro o Te Kaha e. 
Hōmai ana he rāpaki mō rātau mā. 

E tika ana me whakanui koe i te tau nei e, 
Te tuatahi i huri noa i Aotearoa, te Waipounamu. 
Kia ora koutou ngā iwi o Tūranga, 
ā koutou te rā nui me ngā taonga e, 
O te tuatahi i kite ai ō tātou tīpuna o te Tairāwhiti.
