Ki a koe te tau
āku mihi e.
Ahakoa haere koe ki hea
maku rā koe e whai atu e.
Ko taku aroha
ka ū tonu.
Tēna ra e hine
huri mai rā ki ahau e tau nei
hei, utanga atu,
e Ipo.
Otirā, e hine,
ku-a tau-nga kē tēnei tinana,
a-ue, ki te aroha
e Ipo. (E. I. Pō)
My darling Missy
You are always on my mind
Wherever you may go
You take a part of me.
My love for you is endless
Keep me always in your heart
For you are a special part of me.
My never-ending love.
Tēna ra e hine
huri mai rā ki ahau e tau nei
hei, utanga atu,
e Ipo.
Ki te aroha e Ipo
