It is believed to have been communally written by Maori soldiers in training camp during World War I. Here are the lyrics and then a translation. LYRICS: Pōkarekare ana, ngā wai o Waiapu Whiti atu koe hine, marino ana e E hine e, hoki mai ra, kamate ahau i te aroha e. Tuhituhi taku reta, tuku atu taku rīni
Kia kite tō iwi, raruraru ana e. E hine e, hoki mai ra, ka mate ahau i te aroha e.
TRANSLATION: Stormy are the waters on restless Waiapu If you cross them, girl, they will be calmed.

Oh girl, come back to me, my heart is dying of love for you.
