karakia
whakataka te hau
Time to learn a new karakia for the morning. This is the karakia to start all Manaiakalani hui (meetings) so it is a valuable karakia for us to learn. This is also a waiata. You can listen to the audio and the waiata to help you to learn the karakia.
Whakataka te hau (1).mp3Whakataka te hau ki te uru. (Cease the winds from the west)
Whakataka te hau ki te tonga. (Cease the winds from the south)
Kia mākinakina ki uta, (Let the breeze blow over the land.)
Kia mātaratara ki tai. (Let the breeze blow over the ocean.)
Kia hī ake ana te atakura, (Let the red-tipped dawn come with a sharpened air,)
he tio, he huka, he hauhū (a touch of frost, a promise of a glorious day.)
Tihei mauri ora! (the breath of life)
