Waiata

Pōkarekare ana / 연가
Pōkarekare ana, ngā wai o Waiapu
Whiti atu koe hine, marino ana e.
E hine e, hoki mai ra
Ka mate ahau i te aroha e.
Tuhituhi taku reta, tuku atu taku rīngi
Kia kite tō iwi, raru raru ana e.
E hine e, hoki mai raKa mate ahau i te aroha e.
E kore te aroha, e maroke i te rā
Mākūkū tonu i aku roimata e.
E hine e, hoki mai ra
Ka mate ahau i te aroha e.
Whati whati taku pene, kua pau aku pepa
Ko taku aroha, mau tonu ana e.
E hine e, hoki mai raKa mate ahau i te aroha e.
연가 가사
비 바람이 치던 바다 잔잔해져 오면
오늘 그대 오시려나 저 바다건너서
저하늘에 반짝이는 별빛도 아름답지만
사랑스런 그대 눈이 더욱 아름다워라
그대만을 기다리리 내사랑 영원히 기다리리
그대만을 기다리리 내사랑 영원히 기다리리
