Taku aroha e murura ake nei e
He ahi puia koropupu
E whakapau nei i taku ate e
Whakawai pau nei i au e
He rito ipu ake i te po
Ko wai ka kite i ona puawai
This love that eats away at me as a fever
A fire that is like a boiling pool
That is consuming my very soul
That is devouring me
Like a tender shoot lost to darkness
Who will see it blossom and bloom?
