My time to write is very limited, these days, but I did do this new cover version of the classic Maori song, Pokarekare Ana. I say "new version" because I did another version of this, a few years ago. I changed the BIAB tracks for this one, entirely. See what you think? smile Thanks for listening, and for any and all comments!

Pokarekare Ana

THE LYRICS:

Pōkarekare ana, ngā wai o Waiapu
Whiti atu koe hine, marino ana e.

E hine e, hoki mai ra
Ka mate ahau i te aroha e.

Tuhituhi taku reta, tuku atu taku rīngi
Kia kite tō iwi, raru raru ana e.

E hine e, hoki mai ra
Ka mate ahau i te aroha e.

Pōkarekare ana, ngā wai o Waiapu
Whiti atu koe hine, marino ana e.

E hine e, hoki mai ra
Ka mate ahau i te aroha e
