KARAKIA TĪMATANGA
Tēnei te mauri ka piki ake ki te rangi e tū nei
He rangi atua, he rangi tipua,
he rangi tawhito
Kia whiti, kia whiti ko te mātauranga
Kia tau, kia tau ko te māramatanga
Whāia kia tata, puritia kia mau
Haumi e, Hui e, Tāiki e!
This is the vital essence rising up to our
Sky Father above
Tis a divine, supernatural
and sacred day
It carries knowledge
And understanding
Pursue so it may be close, hold fast
Bound together, Unified!
Nā Hohepa Isaac-Sharland
KARAKIA WHAKAMUTUNGA
Tēnei te mauri ka heke iho ki te whenua e takoto nei
He rangi atua, he rangi tipua, he rangi tawhito
I whiti, i whiti ko te mātauranga
I tau, i tau ko te māramatanga
Tēnei ka hikitia kia wātea
Haumi e, hui e, tāiki e!
This is the vital essence descending to the Earth
Mother below
Twas a divine, supernatural and sacred day
Which brought knowledge
And understanding
This we lift and release
Bound together, Unified!
Nā Hohepa Isaac-Sharland
