Now is the hour when we must say goodbye;
Soon you'll be sailing far across the sea.
While you're away, oh please remember me,
When you return, you'll find me waiting here.
Po atarau e moea iho nei
E haere ana koe ki pamamao
Haere ra ka hoki mai ano
Kii te tau e tangi atu nei
I'll dream of you if you will dream of me,
Each hour l'll miss you, here across the sea.
It's not goodbye, it's just a sweet adieu.
Someday l'll sail across the sea to you
But while you're away
Oh please remember me...
