Hine e Hine

E tangi ana koe Hine, e hine! E ngenge ana koe Hine, e hine! Kati to pouri ra Noho i te aroha Te ngakau o te Matua Hine, e hine (translation) Plaintive all through the night Hine, e hine! Weeping till morning light Hine, e hine! From my care why try to leap There is love for you Mother's arms their strength will keep Hine, e hine!
