Hine E Hine

"Hine E Hine" is a Māori lullaby written by Princess Te Rangi Pai (Fanny Rose Howie nee Porter) (1868-1916) in 1907.[1]

An instrumental version of Hine E Hine was used from 1979 to 1994 as the New Zealand TV Channel 2's "closing-down song", which accompanied a cartoon featuring the Goodnight Kiwi.[1]

A cover of the song was recorded by Hayley Westenra for her album Pure.

The song also features on the José Carreras album The José Carreras Collection, released in 2003.
