pokare kare ana continued

Tuhituhi raku reta

tuku atu taku ringi,

Kia kite to iwi

raru raru ana e.

I have written my letter

I have sent my ring,

so that your people can see

(that I am) troubled.

Whati whati taku pene

ka pau aku pepa,

Ko taku aroha

mau tonu ana e.

My pen is shattered,

I have no more paper

(But) my love

is still steadfast.

E kore te aroha

e maroke i te ra,

Makuku tonu i

aku roimata e.

(My) love will never

be dried by the sun,

It will be forever moistened

by my tears.
