Karakia Timatanga – Whakataka te Hau
Whakataka te hau ki te uru Cease oh winds of the west and the south
Whakataka te hau ki te tonga Let the bracing breezes flow
Kia mākinakina ki uta over the land and the sea
Kia mātaratara ki tai Let the red-tipped dawn come
E hī ake ana te atakura with a sharpened edge
He tio, he huka, he hauhū a touch of frost
Tihei Mauri Ora! A promise of a glorious day!

Unuhia, unuhia Release, release
Unuhia ki te uru tapu nui Release us from this sacred state
Kia wātea, kia māmā, te ngakau to clear and set free the heart

Koa rā e Rongo Let peace and humility
Whakairia ake ki runga be raised among us
Kia tina! TINA! And be made manifest (indeed!)
Haumi e. hui e,TAIKI E! Draw it together! Affirm! It is done!
