E te tau

E te tau, e te tau My dear one, my dear one

Tahuri mai, tahuri mai Turn ( to me ) , turn ( to me )

Karanga, karanga Call, call

Mai ake ki ahau back to me

Ko koe, hoatu You have been given ( to me)

Hei whakatutuki to consummate the word called love

Huakina mai to Open up your

Manawa ki ahau Heart to me ..

Homai to reo aroha Give forth your voice of love

Mo ake tonu, ki ahau forever to me

A .. hi aue, aue

Ko koe, hoatu You have been given ( to me)

Hei whakatutuki to consummate the word called love

Huakina mai to Open up your

Manawa ki ahau Heart to me ..

Sung to the tune of ‘Steal your love’
