He rawe te karaehe I pai ahau ki ta te tauira e hiahia ana kia nui ake te riipene whakaata me ia
Kaore rawa!
Aue, he aha te wahine wahine wera, ina koa ko te kotiro Ahia te ahua whakamiharo. He tino pukuriri te rangatira, kaore ia i tuku i nga kotiro ki te whakangawari, ka iti noa te okioki. I pai ki a ratou - he kotiro uaua.
He pai te mahi wahine, engari he mea kino, he aha ranei! He aha te kino? Kare i wetekina, kare i whiua ..... He rite ki te takoto ki te wahine kairau i te taha ki tona tuahine.
Ka kitea tonu he pai ki te mitimiti. He uwha ataahua, he topa ataahua. Ka mitimiti ahau i te pera me te kore e haehae, ka pai ahau ki te ngokingoki mai i tetahi ira ki tetahi.
Tangata karaehe.
E hiahia ana ahau ki te whakamatau
Ngongo i taku titi
Kei te pirangi ahau
Ko nga ataata e pa ana
Ka rite ahau ki tera.
