Karakia

Whakataka te hau ki te uru.

The wind blows from the west.

Whakataka te hau ki te tonga.

The wind blows from the south.

Kia mākinakina ki uta.

It pierces the land with its wintry nip.

Kia mātaratara ki tai.

And slices the sea with its freezing chill.

E hī ake ana te atā kura.

When the red dawn breaks

He tio, he huka, he hauhu.

there is ice, snow and frost.

Tihei mauri ora.
