Akoako o te Rangi
Paurangi te ngakau e hineMoemoe wairangi te wairua,Maranga ma tangi hau oraTiro pei kata aroha irunga
Muri muri hui hui o u kape,Kere kere aroha i rungaMaranga e hine kua rongo he rangiKahore he pouri e kore e taea e te aroha.
Paurangi te ngakau e hineMoemoe wairangi te wairua,Maranga ma tangi hau oraTiro pei kata aroha irunga
Muri muri hui hui o u kape,Kere kere aroha i rungaMaranga e hine kua rongo he rangiKahore he pouri e kore e taea e te aroha.
Beneath a tree, stricken with love, I creptWeary and lost, alone I sleptRising in hidden sweetest murmursGentle breezes peep and smile
Softer than silence o'er my brow they playedWafting love's incense to my soulCalling "Awake fond one, the heavens are glowingThere is no darkness love cannot light."
