歌詞
E tangi ana koe
hine, e hine!
e ngenge ana koe
hine, e hine!
kati to pouri ra
noho i te aroha
te ngakau o te matua
hine, e hine
(translation)
Plaintive all through the night
hine, e hine!
weeping till morning light
hine, e hine!
from my care why try to leap
there is love for you
mother's arms their strength will keep
hine, e hine!
