Pokarekare Ana was originally written in 1912 as a bid to win the heart of Paraire Henare Tomoana's beloved, Kuini Ripeka Ryland. Paraire had fallen in love with Kuini but her family refused to give their blessing to a marriage between the two. A lovelorn Paraire composed Pokarekare Ana in which he vowed his eternal love. He declared this passion by singing Pokarekare Ana at Te Poho-o-Rawiri Marae to Kuini in front of her Ngati Porou elders. The family was won over by his convincing performance and granted him their daughter's hand.
How placid are the ripples of restless Waiapu,
Dear they know of your returning,
from far across the sea.
Dear Heart of mine,
I'll wait for thee,
My love is thine alone,
to eternity.

Oh, do not sleep friend, through this night.
You a soul, while we are suffring through this night
Banish slumber from your eyes!
The great secret is revealed in this night.
You are Jove in the high heavens,
Round heavns starry dome you circle in this night!
Like an eagle fly above!
Now a hero is your soul in this night.
Such a quiet, others sleep
I and God alone together in this night!
What a roar! JOY arises,
Truth with gleaming wing is shining in this night!
Do not sleep friend,
If I slumbered until sunrise,
I should never, never see this night again!
Thorough fares on earth are silent.
There behold the starry roads of this night.

It is a medley of three 19th century songs—"Dixie", a minstrel song that became the unofficial anthem of the Confederacy since the Civil War; "All My Trials", originally a Bahamian lullaby, but closely related to African American spirituals, and well-known through folk music revivalists. Sung as part of a concert at St. Johns Church, Keynsham, on 6th April 2013 to raise funds for Motor Neurone Disease Association. less
