A Hei

 
A hei, A hei,
A hei, A he, he, hei
I e a hei, I e a hei, hei
 
Tia i noa ho`i au ia `oe
Maoro to mo`e ra`e ia`u
Heva noa te mana`o.
Ta`i oto te mafatu
Ia `oe e ta`u i here
 
 
Hui:
O to `oe ho hoa tei mua ia`u
O tei fa`atahe i to`u roimata
Te ui`ui noa nei ho`i te mana`o
Te hea, te hea ta`u i here
A hei, A hei,
A hei, A he, he, hei
I e a hei, I e a hei, hei
 
I'm waiting for you
I haven't seen you for a long while
My thoughts (of your absence) are painful
Yearning is my heart
For you, my love
 
 
Chorus:
I see your face in front of me
As my tears fall (from my eyes)
I'm wondering,
Where, where is my love
