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).

Whārikihia e hine tō aroha mai tawhiti e

Woman lay out your love before me from afar

Hei ara haere māku ki a koe

As a pathway to you

I te pō, i te whiti o te marama e

In the night, while the moon is shining

Kia taunga anō tāua e

So we may re-acquaint ourselves

.....E wero nei te aroha e

.....Love pierces deep

 

 

Whārikihia e hine tō aroha mai i mamao

Woman lay out your love before me from afar

Hei whakamahana i taku moe

To warm me as I sleep

E rere nei tāua ki a tāua e

We fly to each other

Kia rere tahi ai e

And then as one

.....E wero nei te aroha e

.....Love pierces deep

 

 

Whārikihia e hine tō aroha mai tawhiti e

Woman lay out your love before me from afar

E toro mai ō ringa kia pā mai ki ōku

Let your hands reach out to touch mine

E awhi nei tāua e, kia moe tahi ai e

So we embrace and make love

.....E wero nei te aroha e

.....Love pierces deep

 

 

Ahakoa rā te uaua o te haere

No matter how hard life is

Te taumaha o te mahi

or heavy the burden

Te rangirua o āku whakaaro

If doubt plagues me

Te marangai o te rangi

If the rain falls

Te makariri, te mahana ā waho

The cold bites

Tau tonu au i a koe

You will be my foundation

.....E wero nei te aroha e

.....Love pierces deep.

 

 

 

E te Tamaiti, a te Atua
Matua ora Ariki nui.
Titiro mai rā, e te Atua
Nga mamae tonu
Nga pōuri nui.
Kaua e huri
Me hōmai rā Koe
He huarahi oranga e.

Anei ra mātou, ō tamariki
E inoi atu, tō ingoa tapu.
Hōmai ra e koe
Te whakapono, wairua tapu
Whakāro pai.
No reira rā e
Te Ariki nui
Titiro mai rā, aroha mai.

 

 

 

 

 


 

Tangi a te ruru,
kei te hokihoki mai e
E whakawherowhero
i te putahitanga
Näku nei ra
koe i tuku haere
Tëra puritia iho
nui rawa te aroha e

Te Hokinga Mai,
tëna koutou
Tangi ana te ngäkau
i te aroha
Tü tonu ra te mana
te ihi o nga tipuna
kua wehea atu rä
Mauria mai te mauri tangata
hei oranga mo te mörehu
tangi mökai nei
E rapu ana i te ara tika
mo tätou katoa

Te Hokinga Mai,
Te Hokinga Mai
Tü tangata tonu!

       

The cry of the morepork
keeps coming back to me.
It is hooting out there
where the paths meet.
I was the one
who allowed you to go.
It was curbed,
my deep love for you

Te Hokinga Mai,
greetings
How my heart weeps
in (sorrowful) love.
Stand tall, the prestige
(and) the awe of the ancestors
who have passed on.
Bring back the true spirit of the people
to help heal the survivor
crying with loneliness (lit. like a captive)
(and) searching for the true path
for all. (This stanza sung twice)

Te Hokinga Mai!
Te Hokinga Mai!
Stand tall!

Hoki mai e tama mā ki roto, ki roto
I ngā ringa e tuwhera atu nei,
(A hi! aue! aue!)
Kei te kapakapa mai te Haki, te Haki
Ingarangi runga Tiamana e.

Hoki mai, hoki mai ki te wā kāinga
Kia tutuki te tāmanako,
Kei te kapakapa mai te Haki, te Haki
Ingarangi runga Tiamana e.

I hoki mai, hoki mai ki te wā kāinga
(Ki te aha?)
Kia tutuki te tumanako,
A kei te kapakapa mai te Haki, te Haki
Ingarangi runga Tiamana e,
Tahi, rua, toru, whā, hi aue hei!

           

Come back boys into, into
these arms outstretched.
(A hi! aue! aue!)
Fluttering is the flag, the flag
England over Germany.

Come back, come back home
In order to fulfil our hopes.
Fluttering is the flag, the flag
England over Germany.

You came back, came back home
(What for?)
In order to fulfil our hopes.
Fluttering is the flag, the flag
England over Germany.
One, two, three, four, hi aue hei!

 

 

 

 

Māku e ringiringi kīaka1 o roimata,
Ara e ahu ana ki te kāinga

Kai te manatu au mo te whenua
O ōku tīpuna ki te kāinga

Ka tawhiti atu te kaiwhakamārie,2
I tōku wairua. Aue, hoki mai!

Kāore e taea te huna
I āku manako mō te kāinga, aue!


E awhi reinga,3
E awhi tāua.

I will pour out jugfuls of tears
on the trail that leads to home

I am homesick for the land
of the old people of my village

Far away is the comforter
of my soul. Alas, come back to me!

I cannot hide
my longing for home, aue!


We embrace with the spirits
when we embrace each other.
