Pokarekare Ana (Come Back To Me)

Pokarekare ana

Nga wai o Waiapu

Whiti atu koe hine

Marino ana e



E hine e

Hoki maira

Kamate au

I te aroha e



Tuhituhi taku rita

Tuku atu taku ringi

Kia kiti to iwi

Raru raru ana e



E hine e

Hoki maira

Kamate au

I te aroha e



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 write you my letter

I send you my ring

So your people can see

How troubled I am



Oh girl

Come back to me

I could die

Of love for you
