Middle of nowhere, it's the name of an otherwise undistinguished hill in New Zealand. The English translation is...

The place where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, who slid, climbed and swallowed mountains, known as 'landeater', played his flute to his loved one.

And even amid all of that, they have room for a metaphor. "Played his flute" indeed.
