Korimako and Te Taniwha/Whakataka te hou

Whakataka te hau ki te uru
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 hauhunga.

Haumi e! Hui e! Tāiki e!

Get ready for the westerly and be prepared for the southerly.

It will be icy cold inland, and icy cold on the shore.

May the dawn rise red-tipped on ice, on snow, on frost.

Join! Gather! Intertwine!
