Lyrics - Maori
(Maori folk song)
Hurihuri, hurihuri
O mahara e
Ki te tau ki te tau
Ki te tau e.
Kore rawa, kore rawa
I mahara e
Kia koe rä e hine
Kia koe rä e hine.
English Translation – Ever returning
Ever returning
are your thoughts
To (your) loved one, (your) loved one
(your) loved one.
Never, never
will there be a thought
for you girl
for you girl.
