Ponaturi

My fathers bones

Ko ngā kōiwi o tōku matua

Lie at the bottom of the ocean

Takoto ki raro i te moana

In the house, Manawa-Tāne

I roto i te whare Manawa -Tāne

The great house of the Sea Demons

Ko te wharenui o ngā Ponaturi e, Ponaturi e

Return my fathers bones

Whakahokia ngā kōiwi o tōku matua

I am here to seek revenge

Kei konei ahau e kimikimi utu ana

Return my fathers bones

Whakahokia ngā kōiwi o tōku matua

Return them to his land

Whakahokia ngā kōiwi ki tōna whenua

Me and 140 men

Ko ahau me ngā tāngata kotahi rau tekau mā whā

Aboard the ship, the ship Niwareka

Mā runga te waka, te waka o Niwareka

We sail towards the ponaturi's lair

Ka rere tātou ki te whare o ngā ponaturi

We will destroy the Sea Demon's lair

Ka whakangaro tātou ki te wharenui

In the house, Manawa-Tāne

I roto i te whare Manawa-Tāne

The great house of the Sea Demons

Ko te wharenui o ngā Ponaturi e, Ponaturi e

Return my fathers bones

Whakahokia ngā kōiwi o tōku matua

I am here to seek revenge

Kei konei ahau e kimikimi utu ana

Return my fathers bones

Whakahokia ngā kōiwi o tōku matua

Return them to his land

Whakahokia ngā kōiwi ki tōna whenua

We have arrived

Kua tae mai tātou

i will go alone

Ka haere anake ahau

with the power of incantations

Me te kaha o ngā karakia

I will hide from the Sea Demons

Ka whakamoke ahau mai ngā Ponaturi

with the power of incantations

me te kaha o ngā karakia

I will slay the Sea Demons

Ka patu ahau ki ngā ponaturi

in the house, Manawa-Tāne

I roto i te whare Manawa-Tāne

The great house of the Sea Demons

Ko te wharenui o ngā Ponaturi e

Return my fathers bones

Whakahokia ngā kōiwi o tōku matua

I am here to seek revenge

Kei konei ahau e kimikimi utu ana

Return my fathers bones

Whakahokia ngā kōiwi o tōku matua

Return them to his land

Whakahokia ngā kōiwi ki tōna whenua

The Sea Demons
