Pokarekare Ana
Trad, Maori. Arr. Craig McLeish.
Pōkarekare ana, ngā wai o Waiapu
Whiti (Fiti) atu koe hine, marino ana e.
E hine e, hoki mai ra
Ka mate ahau, i te aroha e.
My words and tokens, speak of my heart
My love forever remains your own.
True love of mine, return again
My heart is yearning, I miss you so.
E hine e, hoki mai ra
Ka mate ahau, i te aroha e.
Ka mate ahau, i te aroha e.
The waters of Waiapu are agitated, but when you cross them they will become calm again. True love of mine, return again. I could die of love for you.
