Whakataka te hau ki te uru Whakataka te hau ki te tonga Kia mākinakina ki uta Kia mātaratara ki tai E hī ake ana te atākura He tio, he huka, he hauhū Tīhei mauri ora! |
Cease o winds from the west Cease o winds from the south Bring calm breezes over the land Bring calm breezes over the sea And let the red-tipped dawn come With a touch of frost A sharpened air And promise of a glorious day. |
