| I te wā tuatahi | |
| I tangohia katoatia ngā whenua | |
| O ēnei iwi | |
| Mai i Katikati i te tōnga o te rā | |
| Ki Pāpāmoa i te whitinga mai o te rā | |
| E ai ki ngā kōrero | |
| E rua rau e whitu tekau mano eka i tangohia | |
| Engari, nō muri mai ka whakaaro anō te kāwanatanga i taua wā | |
| I runga i te pai o te whawhai a ngā Māori | |
| Kāore i tūkino i ngā taotū o te hoariri | |
| Kātahi ka whakahokia mai te nuinga o te whenua | |
| Engari, ko te wāhi i puritia e rātau | |
| E rima tekau mano eka | |
| A kāti ko tēnei wāhi i kite atu nei tāua | |
| I te taha maui nei nā nā | |
| Tae noa ki te awa o Te Wairoa | |
| A huri ake ki tō tāua taha katau nei nā nā | |
| Tae noa atu ki te awa o Waimapu | |
| E rima tekau mano eka | |
| Mai i tērā wā ki tēnei wā | |
| Koia rā te muru o tēnei takiwā | |
| Mō te whawhaitanga o ngā Māori | |
| Ki ngā hoia a te Kuini | |
| In the first instance | |
| The lands of these tribes were completely taken | |
| From Katikati in the West to Pāpāmoa in the East | |
| According to sources, 270,000 acres were taken | |
| However, following the initial confiscation | |
| The government reconsidered their decision | |
| Due to the fair conduct of the Māori during battle | |
| No wounded soldiers were mistreated | |
| And so the majority of lands were returned | |
| But the government retained 50,000 acres | |
| The land section we can see from the left | |
| Through towards the Wairoa river | |
| If we turn to our right | |
| Towards the Waimapu river | |
| Is 50,000 acres | |
| From that time to this present day | |
| Is the confiscation of this area | |
| For the battle of Māori | |
| Against the soldiers of the Queen |
