E tangi ana Koe Hine, E Hine! Kua ngenge ana koe Hine, E Hine! Kati to pouri ra Noho i te Aroha Te ngakau o te Matua Hine, E Hine!
E Hari to moe moea Hine, E Hine! Marama ahua Hine, E Hine! I roto i to moenga Mehemea he Marama Ka tae mai te Reinga Hine, E Hine!
[English translation:]
Plaintive all through the night - Hine, E Hine! Weeping till morning light - Hine, E Hine! From my care why try to leap There is love for you Mother's arms their strength will keep Hine, E Hine! See where there comes the morn Hine, E Hine! Long rays of early dawn Hine, E Hine! Shining to Reinga far Where thy noble grandsires are Nestle Aroha! Hine, E Hine!
