Karakia Tīmatanga
Tākiri te ata.
Haea te ata.
Kia whiti ko te rā.
Tērā te kōkī.
Tērā te korokoro tūī.
Tērā te kōpara.
E kō nei i te ata.
E kore e hekeheke,
He kākano rangatira.
Haumi e, hui e, tāiki e
Prayer for start of session
Prayer for start of session
To Dawn
The emergence of Dawn From a karakia said on the waka Uruao)
Let the sun shine
To sing in the early morning
Sweet singing like the Tūī
The bellbird that sings in the morning.
The song of the birds in the morning.
Whakatauki: Our noble heritage will never perish.
