Lyrics

E tangi ana koe
Hine, e hine!
Kua ngenge ana koe
Hine, e hine!
Kati to pouri ra
Noho I te aroha
Te ngakau o te matua
Hine, e hine!

E hari to moe moea
Hine, e hine!
Marama ahua
Hine, e hine!
I roto I to moenga
Mehemea he marama
Ka tae mai te reinga
Hine, e hine!

English 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!
?Br> see where there comes the morn
Hine, e hine!
Long rays of early dawn
Hine, e hine!
Shining to reinga far
Where thy noble grandsires are
Nestle aroha!
Hine, e hine!
