E te tau, tahuri mai
Toru, wha
Mehe manu rere ahau e
Kua rere ki to moenga
Ki te awhi to tinana
Aue, aue!
E te tau tahuri mai
Mehe manu rere (Had I the wings of a bird)
Ahau e (To thy side, I would surely fly)
Kua rere ki to moenga (To embrace thee, my beloved,
to reach out and to touch the sky)
Ki te awhi to tinana (Your body with sleep enchained)
Aue, aue! (But your soul is free to roam)
E te tau tahuri mai (My love, turn and look at me now,
so that I may see your face)
Mehe manu rere ahau e
Kua rere ki to moenga
Ki te awhi to tinana
Aue, aue!
E te tau tahuri mai
