Kua hōhā katoa au i ngā kī taurangi a Tame. Hoki atu, hoki atu, he horihori katoa. / I'm fed up with Tom's promises. They're all tedious lies.
Kua hōhā katoa au i ngā oati a ngā mema whare pāremata. Hoki atu, hoki atu, he rūkahu katoa (HKK 1999:97). / I'm sick of the promises of the Members of Parliament. Over and over it's the same thing and they're all lies.
