Traditional Maori love song
acoustic originals with a pagan feel, some covers
JUST ME and no-one else
Lyrics
Poekarekare ana
ngae wai o Waiapu, 1
Whiti atu koe hine
marino ana e.
E hine e
hoki mai ra.
Ka mate ahau 2
I te aroha e.
Tuhituhi taku reta
tuku atu taku ringi,
Kia kite toe iwi
raru raru ana e.
Whati whati taku pene 3
ka pau aku pepa,
Ko taku aroha
mau tonu ana e.
E kore te aroha
e maroke i te rae,
Maekuekue tonu i
aku roimata e.
They are agitated
the waters of Waiapu,
But when you cross over girl
they will be calm.
Oh girl
return to me,
I could die
of love for you.
I have written my letter
I have sent my ring,
so that your people can see
that I am troubled.
My pen is shattered,
I have no more paper
But my love
is still steadfast.
My love will never
be dried by the sun,
It will be forever moistened
by my tears.
