Now Is the Hour (Maori Farewell Song)

Now is the hour when we must say goodbye

Soon you'll be sailing far across the sea

While you're away, o, then remember me

When you return, you'll find me waiting hereSunset glow fades in the west

Night o'er the valley is creeping

Birds cuddle down in their nest

Soon all the world will be sleepingNow is the hour when we must say goodbye

Soon you'll be sailing far across the sea

While you're away, o, then remember me

When you return, you'll find me waiting here
