+Māori+

Pokarekare ana, nga wai o Waiapu
Whiti atu koe hine, marino ana e

E hine e, hoki mai ra, ka mate ahau i te aroha e.

Tuhituhi taku reta, tuku atu taku riingi
Kia kite to iwi, raruraru ana e.

E hine e, hoki mai ra, ka mate ahau i te aroha e.

Whati whati taku pene, kua pau aku pepa
Ko taku aroha, mau tonu ana e.

E hine e, hoki mai ra, ka mate ahau i te aroha e.

E kore te aroha, e maroke i te ra
Makuku tonu i aku roimata e.

E hine e, hoki mai ra, ka mate ahau i te aroha e.

+English+

Stormy are the waters of restless Waiapu
If you cross them, girl they will be calmed

Oh girl, Come back to me, I could die of love for you

I have written my letter, I have sent my ring,
So that your people can see that I am troubled.

Oh girl, Come back to me, I could die of love for you

My pen is shattered, I have no more paper
But my love is still steadfast.

Oh girl, Come back to me, I could die of love for you

My love will never be dried by the sun,
It will be forever moistened by my tears.

Oh girl, Come back to me, I could die of love for you...
