Te kōkiritanga mai o te Pākehā
Kua tino ahiahi taua taima
Kua timata hoki te kōuaua
A kāti, i runga i ēnei ahuatanga ka ahua kūrakuraku
Te whakaeke a te Pākehā
Tūpono tonu hoki i te urunga mai o te hoariri
Ki roto ki o rātau nōhanga e mahara ana
Kua matemate kē te nuinga o rātau
I te urunga mai kātahi ka tū atu ki te riri
Ahua, te tūmeketanga o ngā Pākehā i a rātau
Kātahi ka ahua kūrakuraku
Kāore tonu i roa rātau e whawhai ana
Ka whati ngā Pākehā, ka omaoma
Koina te wharanga o ngā Pākehā i a rātau i taua pakanga
When the Pākehā advanced upon us, it was the afternoon. Their ad-vance was a troubled one. As they took their position they were sur-prised many of their troops had perished.
When the Maori attacked the Pākehā, they were extremely frightened and in disarray, this lead to their demise and them fleeing this battle.
