[temetatauz]

@chyman This song refers back to WWII.. This is not quite the literal meaning of the words but the emotive meaning of the song.. Hope this helps, and if anyone wants to correct, by all means please do.. :))

Boys come home to your embrace,

The English flag triumphs over Germany.

Our hopes & dreams will be fulfilled when

you's return home

Hoki mai e tama mā ki roto, ki roto I ngā ringa e tuwhera atu nei, Kei te kapakapa mai te Haki, te Haki Ingarangi runga o Tiamana e. Hoki mai, hoki mai ki te wā kāinga Kia tutuki te tāmanako, Kei te kapakapa mai te Haki, te Haki Ingarangi runga o Tiamana e. I hoki mai, hoki mai ki te wā kāinga Kia tutuki te tumanako, A kei te kapakapa mai te Haki, te Haki Ingarangi runga o Tiamana e, Tahi, rua, toru, whā, hi aue hei!

[Nazz53]

Come back boys into, into these arms outstretched. Fluttering is the flag, the flag England over Germany. Come back, come back home In order to fulfil our hopes. Fluttering is the flag, the flag England over Germany. You came back, came back home In order to fulfil our hopes. Fluttering is the flag, the flag England over Germany. One, two, three, four, hi aue hei!

[johnrobertreuben]

Henare Waitoa composed this song in Ruatoria in 1946 to welcome home survivors of the 28th Maori Battalion.

Later, a happier, more lyrical party version evolved in Rotorua and popularized by the Howard Morrison Quartet.
