E tangi ana Koe - Plaintive all through the night
Hine, E Hine!
Kua ngenge ana koe - Weeping till morning light
Hine, E Hine!
Kati to pouri ra - From my care why try to leap
Noho i te Aroha - There is love for you
Te ngakau o te Matua - Mother's arms their strength will keep
Hine, E Hine!
Princess Te Rangi Pai 1907
