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 hauhū.
Haumi e! Hui e! Tāiki e!
Translation:
Settle the westerly winds
Settle the southerly winds.
It will be icy cold inland,
and icy cold on the shore.
May the dawn rise red-tipped on ice,
on snow, on frost.
Bind together! Gather together! Unite!
