Karakia Flashcards
Whakataka te hau ki te uru
The wind falls/swings to the west
Whakataka te hau ki te tonga
The wind falls/swings to the south
Kia mākinakina ki uta
Making it prickly cold inland
Kia mātaratara ki tai
Making it piercingly cold at sea
E hī ake ana te ātākura
The glowing morning will rise
He tio, he huka, he hauhunga
On ice, on snow, on frost
Haumie, hui e. Taiki e!
Join, gather. Intertwine!
Hau ki runga ki a Ranginui e tū iho nei
The vitality of Ranginui who stands above
Hau ki raro kia Papatuānuku e takoto ake nei
The vitality of Papatuānuku who lies beneath
Hau ki roto ki te ngākau, tāngata pono
The vitality of the heart, the faithful
Hau ki waho ki te wheiao ki te ao mārama
The vitality of the light, the world of consciousness
