He Puru Taitama

He pūru taitama e

He pūru taitama hoki!

He pūru taitama

He pūru tukituki

He pūru taitama e.

Ka haere tāua e

Ki runga Otaki hoki.

Kei reira tāua

whaka-rite-rite ai

whaka-oti-oti ai e.

(I'm) a strong young man!

A real young bull!

A vigourous lad!

A rampaging bull!

A husky young man!

You and I are going

way beyond Otaki.

And there we

can arrange

a conclusion.

Written by Kingi Tahiwai in the early 1900s, this was to remember that Kingi himself was a capable young male with a bright mind.
