Water of Tyne

I cannot get to my love if I would dee

For the water of Tyne runs between him and me

And here I must stand with a tear in my ee

Both sighing and sickly, my true love to see

Oh where is the boatman, my bonny hinny?

Oh where is the boatman? O bring him to me

To ferry me over the Tyne to my honey

And I will remember the boatman and thee

Oh bring me a boatman, I’ll give any money

And you for your trouble rewarded shall be

To ferry me over the Tyne to my honey

Or skull him across that rough river to me

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.
