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
