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
