Traditional: Hine E Hine - Hayley Westenra

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!

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!

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!
