Oh, who is she?
– Aue, ko wai ia?
A misty memory
– He mahara kohu
A haunting face
– He mata mokemoke
Is she a lost embrace?
– Kei te ngaro ia i te awhi?
Am I in love with just a theme?
– Ko ahau i roto i te aroha ki te kaupapa tika?
Or is Ayesha just a dream?
– He moemoea noa ranei a Ayesha?
A mystery
– He mea ngaro
Oh, who is she?
– Aue, ko wai ia?
Oh, who is she?
– Aue, ko wai ia?
A misty memory
– He mahara kohu
A haunting face
– He mata mokemoke
Is she a lost embrace?
– Kei te ngaro ia i te awhi?
I call her name
– Karanga ahau tona ingoa
Across an endless plain
– Puta noa i te mania mutunga
She’ll answer me
– Ka whakahoki ia ki ahau
Wherever she may be
– Nga wahi katoa e taea e ia
Oh, who is she?
– Aue, ko wai ia?
A misty memory
– He mahara kohu
A haunting face
– He mata mokemoke
Is she a lost embrace?
– Kei te ngaro ia i te awhi?
Somewhere across the sea of time
– I runga i te moana o te wā
A love immortal such as mine
– E like me nā koi a nā mea kū’ai aku
Will come to me
– Ka haere mai ki ahau
Eternally
– Mure ore
Immortal she
– Tahuti ore ia
Return to me
– Hoki mai ki ahau
