Ka hari ake e ngā Pākehā tā rātau taua

A ka whakaekengia ngā Māori i reira

Koira te hīnganga o ngā Māori

Te matenga o ngā Māori i taua pakanga

Kāore anō kia hohoru noa o rātau parepare

Me ērā atu mea a, ka whakaekengia nei e rātau

He hoia eke hoiho, e kī ana he cavalry

Koia rā te hunga i patu ngā Māori i reira

Nō muri ko ngā infantry

Ka mate ngā Māori

Ka mutu ai ngā pakanga

I roto i tēnei takiwā

The Pākeha took their war party and advanced upon them there. This was the defeat of the Maori, at that battle.

Their trenches were not deep, their fortification was not strong.

It was also because of the cavalry that the Pākehā was victorious, and then the infantry finished the job, this is where the Māori perished, and the battles in this region ended.
