Paikea

Uia mai koia, whakahuatia ake - Ask and you will be told
Ko wai te whare nei e - What is the name of this house?
Ko Te Kani - It is Te Kani
Ko wai te tekoteko kei runga - Who is the carved figure above
Ko Paikea! Ko Paikea - It is Paikea! It is Paikea!

Whakakau Paikea. Hei! - Paikea emerges. Hey!
Whakakau he tipua. Hei! - A wizard emerges. Hey!
Whakakau he taniwha.- A deep-water prodigy is wading ashore
Ka u Paikea ki Ahuahu. Pakia! - Paikea lands at Ahuahu. Slap!

Kei te whitia koe - Your identity is entwined
ko Kahutia-te-rangi. Aue! - with Kahutia-te-rangi. Amazing!
Me ai to ure ki te tamahine - You were intimate with the daughter
a Te Whironui - aue! - of Te Whironui - really!
nana i noho te Roto-o-tahe - who settled at the Lake-of-woman's-blood




Aue! Aue! - Alas! Alas!
He koruru koe, koro e - You are now a figurehead, old one
