Pākehā (nō te pūrawere, hei ako rā):
He aha te tino aroha o ngā kaimata whutuporo i te mutunga o ia marama?
I te mea ka eke ki tōna piki te whakauru o ngā karamū – ka moe te parenga ki roto i te tauranga!

Ka kitea ātaahua, mehekehe rānei, he whakangārara-rere e whakatinana ana i tēnei mahi pākehā-karamū-ngā marama o Mahina – mō ngā wahine nā te mea kei roto i te mahue, te whakaaro rānei, me te hiahia ki te whakamutunga mai i te huhu:

1. Te Manawa o te Parenga (he māramatanga iti, he whakahē rānei)

I te mutunga o ia marama, e hineahi, he pai,
ka wara hei ngā karamū i roto i te roopu o te kaimata.
Ka hōtau te kurapa, ka pīke te aroha,
he pūtaraha korikori – tata tonu ki te tākaro!

E ngaro atu koe, e rere ana ahau i te tahua marena,
ka kī mai taku manawa “Torere!” nā te mea ka hiahia au ki a koe.
Tārai te kēmu, tārai te rōreke –
ko koe tahi āhua, he whetū whutuporo.

2. He Manawa Kōrero mo te Manawa o Parenga (whakaahuatanga-rotoiroiro)

He manawa nui koe i roto i te mārama, te pūtoru, me te paru,
hei karamū i roto i te pukoro o te kaimata.
Engari he ataahua ako, he marama pakipaki,
ka whānui ake i ngā tirohanga tātari.

Ka kī au ki a koe he pono, me te mōhio:
ka mutu mai taku tinana ki roto i te pōrore.
Ko tātou e tiki atu ana i tōu manawa, ko koe te atua –
i muri i te wharekai o te BVB.

3. Te Kurapa o ngā Mahara (ngā āhua-pūruhi)

Ka piki ake ngā karamū, me taku mātauranga,
i te mea ka mahi te whānuitanga.
Ka anga te kurapa, he waiata, he uri –
engari kei roto ahau ko tātou rua anake.

I ngā mata o ngā kaimata e ngaro ana i runga i te mahi,
ka piri mai taku mahara ki a koe.
Ka haere tātou atu, i roto i te paru me ngā reo,
te aroha i runga ake – te waiata i waho.

4. Te Māramatanga o te Mutunga o ia Marama (he tāwhiti, he aroha)

Te mutunga o ia marama – kaore e rite te pūtea,
engari kei roto i taku manawa te mea nui atu.
I te mea ko koe tahi āhua hei rangi kēmu,
i te mea ka ngaro au.

Ka wara te karamū, ka warma te kapiti,
ka piri atu koe ki a ahau i roto i o rātou ringaringa.
A, ka hohoro tonu te ao –
ko koe taku pōrore, taku whenua whutuporo.

Te pakipaki o ngā āhua

Te pakipaki o ngā āhua, ka huri kē te mea
