1°) E tangi ana koe

Hine, e hine!
Engnengne ana koe
Hine, e hine! (bis)

Kati to pouri ra
Noho i te aroha
Tengakau o te Matua
Hine, e hine ! (bis)

2°) E Hari to moe moea
Hine, E Hine!
Marama ahua
Hine, E Hine ! (bis)

I roto i to moenga
Mehemea he Marama
Ka tae mai te Reinga
Hine, E Hine ! (bis)

Traduction anglaise Fille ô fille !

1°) 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!

2°) 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!
