Paroles et traduction Hayley Westenra - Pokarekare Ana

Pokarekare Ana

Pōkarekare ana,
Ngā 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 rīngi,
Kia kite tō iwi,
Raru raru ana e.

E hine e,
Hoki mai ra.
Ka mate ahau
I te aroha e.

E hine e,
Hoki mai ra.
Ka mate ahau
I te aroha e.

Ka mate ahau
I te aroha e.

Pokarekare Ana

My Pokarekare is weeping,
The waters of Waiapu.
Come away, my girl,
It's too rough here.

Oh my girl,
Come back to me.
I will die
Of love.

I will write my letter,
And send my ring,
So that your people may know,
All the troubles that I am going through.

Oh my girl,
Come back to me.
I will die
Of love.

Oh my girl,
Come back to me.
I will die
Of love.

I will die
Of love.
