Pokarekare Ana (traditional)

Hayley Westenra
Pure
Pokarekare Ana
Pokarekare ana
Nga wai o Waiapu
Whiti atu koe hine
Marino ana e

E hine e
Hoki maira
Kamate au
I te aroha e

E hine e
Hoki maira
Kamate au
I te aroha e

-{Translated}-

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
