Various songs composed by Sir Apirana Ngata and Arnold Reedy.
00.00 - 00.50: He mihi - kua mate te hunga e mohio ana. He kōrero whakamarama - he pao na Apirana i a ia i Poneke. No te hokinga mai ki te kainga nei ka mahia hei haka, ara, i te mea e kiia nei - action song.
00.50 - 03.49:
(1). Ma te hau tonga ra, mau atu te aroha
Ma te Hauauru e whakahoki mai e.
(2). Takoto te marino, ka hora te moana
Kei roto i ahau e ngarungaru ana e.
(3). Poupou te marama i runga o Hikurangi
Kei raro Ngaati e tangi hotu ana e.
(4). Tangata kino koe e hine takakore
Na reira o mahara e raruraru ai e.
(5). Ka mutu taku noho, hoki ki pikitia
Kei kite i o haerenga ka hoki tangi au e.
(6) Ma te hau tonga ra, mau atu te aroha
Ma te Hauauru e whakahoki mai e.
(7). Ka mutu taku noho, hoki ki pikitia
Kei kite i o haerenga, ka hoki tangi au e.
(8). Kore au e pai ki te piki wakena
Engari no to kaha, ka piki atu au e.
(9) Ka mutu taku noho, hoki ki pikitia
Kei kite i o haerenga, ka hoki tangi au e.
