Whakataka te Hau
Whakataka te hau ki te uru,
Whakataka te hau ki te tonga.
Kia makinakina ki uta,
Kia mataratara ki tai.
E hi ake ana te ata kura
he tio, he huka, he hauhunga.
Haumi e! Hui e! Taiki e!
The wind swings to the west, settles then turns to the south, settles down.
Making it prickly cold inland
Making it piercingly cold at sea.
The glowing morning will rise
on ice, on snow, on frost.
Join! Gather! Intertwine!
