Karakia & Waiata

Karakia- Whakataka te hau

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 hauhunga.

Haumi e! Hui e! Tāki e!


Waiata-Whakarongo rā

Whakarongo rā

Whakarongo ake au

Ki te tangi a te manu

E rere runga rawa e

Tui, tui, tui, tuia

Tuia i runga

Tuia i raro

Tuia i roto

Tuia i waho

Tui, tui, tuia

Kia rongo te ao

Kia rongo te pō

Tui, tui, tuia







I listen I listen,

where up high

A bird flies

Its cry rings out

Sew, stitch, bind it together

From above

From below

From within

From outside

Sew and bind it together

During the day

And the night

Sew, stitch, bind it together

Karakia Whakamutugna

Kia hora te marino

Kia whakapapa pounamu te moana

Hei huarahi mā tātou i te rangi nei

Aroha atu aroha mai

Tātou i a tātou katoa







May the seas be calm,

May the shimmer of summer

Glisten like the greenstone,

Dance across thy pathway
