Pōkarekare Ana

Pōkarekare ana, ngā wai o Waiapu
Whiti atu koe hine, marino ana e
[The waves are breaking, against the shores of Waiapu,
My heart is aching, for your return my love.]

E hine e, hoki mai ra, ka mate ahau i te aroha e.
[Oh (my beloved) girl, come back to me, I could die of love for you.]

Tuhituhi taku reta, tuku atu taku rīni
Kia kite tō iwi, raruraru ana e.
[I have written you a letter, and enclosed with it my ring,
So your people could see it how much I'm troubled for you.]

E hine e, hoki mai ra, ka mate ahau i te aroha e.
[Oh (my beloved) girl, come back to me, I could die of love for you.]

Whatiwhati taku pene, kua pau aku pepa
Ko taku aroha, mau tonu ana e.
[My poor pen is broken, my paper is spent,
But my love for you endures, and remains forever more.]

E hine e, hoki mai ra, ka mate ahau i te aroha e.
[Oh (my beloved) girl, come back to me, I could die of love for you.]

E kore te aroha, e maroke i te rā
Mākūkū tonu i aku roimata e.
[The sun's hot sheen, won't scorch my love,
Being kept evergreen, by the falling of my tears.]

E hine e, hoki mai ra, ka mate ahau i te aroha e.
[Oh (my beloved) girl, come back to me, I could die of love for you.]

Merci à NZ, qui a reporté ces paroles chez Mme Plouf !
Cette chanson est un classique.
Waiapu est une rivière du côté de Gisborne, au nord-est de l'île du Nord.
En maori, «wh» se prononce «f».
