Pōkarekare Ana sung by Naomi Bradfield – acapella style from www.maorilanguage.net
Pökarekare ana
(They are agitated)
ngä wai o Waiapu
(The waters of Waiapu)
Whiti atu koe hine
(But when you cross over girl)
marino ana e
(They will be calm)
E hine e
(Oh girl)
hoki mai ra
(Return to me)
Ka mate ahau
(I could die)
I te aroha e
(of love for you)
Tuhituhi taku reta
(I have written my letter)
tuku atu taku rïngi
(I have sent my ring)
Kia kite tö iwi
(So that your people can see)
raru raru ana e
(That I am troubled)
Whati whati taku pene
(My pen is shattered)
ka pau aku pepa
(I have no more paper)
Ko taku aroha
(But my love)
mau tonu ana e
(Is still steadfast)
E kore te aroha
(My love will never)
e maroke i te rä
(Be dried by the sun)
Mäkükü tonu i
(It will be forever moistened)
aku roimata e
(By my tears)
