Pokarekare Ana (traditional) Songtext
von Hayley Westenra

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 could die
-I te aroha e


E hine e
Hoki maira
Kamate au
-I te aroha e

Kamate au I could die
-I te aroha e Of love for you

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


Oh girl
Come back to me
I could die
Of love for you

I could die
Of love (for you).
