RURU

Ka haumumu te pō
E mehameha ana te hinengaro
Ka kārangaranga ahau
I tōku rākau

Takaoraora i te moenga
Nā te pōuriuri, kei hea te rongoa?
E mānakanaka ana mo āpōpō
Whakarongo mai e tōku ipo

Ka hipokina koe e au ki ōku hou
Piri mai ki raro i ōku pakau
Kia marutau, hei ruruhau māu

Kaua e mānukanuka
mo āpōpō
Mā te Kaihanga tātou
e tiaki

MOREPORK - A RURU TRANSLATION

The night becomes still
And the mind becomes lonely
I’ll be calling
From my tree

Restless on the bed
From the gloomy night, what’s the medicine?
Worried about tomorrow
Listen to me my love

I’ll cover with my feathers
Come near under my wing
For safety, for a refuge, for you

Don’t worry
For tomorrow
For the Creator
Will take of (all of) us
