Pokarekare Ana

They are agitated The waters of Waiapu But when you cross over girl They will be calm Oh girl Return 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 My pen is shattered I have no more paper But my love Is still steadfast My love will never Be dried by the sun It will be forever moistened By my tears ############################# 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 ringi Kia kite to iwi raru raru ana e Whati whati taku pene ka pau aku pepa Ko taku aroha mau tonu ana e E kore te aroha e maroke i te ra Makuku tonu i aku roimata e
