Ko Kawana Kerei ara ko Pukuriri

E hia hia ana kia rapua te tahi take kino mo Niu

Tireni kia ahei ai ia te whaka ngaro i nga Maori

Governor Grey, old Grouchy!

He wants to find a reason in New Zealand serious

enough to enable him to destroy the Maori

Ko Kawana

E korero whaka tu-ana ki tona iwi ki te toa o te Maori

The Governor is talking and explaining to his people just how brave are the Maori
