Pōkarekare
ana ngā wai o Waiapu, Whiti atu koe hine marino ana e. |
They
are agitated the waters of Waiapu, If you cross over girl they will be calm. |
E hine e hoki mai ra. Ka mate ahau I te aroha e. |
Oh girl return to me, I could die of love for you. |
Tuhituhi taku reta tuku atu taku rīngi, Kia kite tō iwi raru raru ana e. |
I've written my letter I've sent my ring, so that your people can see I'm troubled. |
Whatiwhati taku
pene ka pau aku pepa, Ko taku aroha mau tonu ana e. |
My pen is shattered, I have no more paper But my love is still steadfast. |
E kore te aroha e maroke i te rā, Mākūkū tonu i aku roimata e. |
Never will my love be dried by the sun, It will be moistened by my tears. |
