Mahi Ako singing with Miss Fa

Yesterday Mahi Ako learnt a new song called Whakataka te hau. Here are the words and the translation. Below this you can check out our beautiful singing!

Whakataka te Hau

Karakia ~ Waiata Himene – No nga hau e wha (from all corners)

                          

Whakataka te hau … ki te Uru

Cease the winds from the West 

Whakataka te hau … ki te Tonga

Cease the winds from the South 

                                                      

Kia maakinakina ki uta

Let the breezes blow over the land 

                                                          

Kia maataratara ki tai e

Let the breezes blow over the ocean 

                                    

Kia hii ake ana-te atakura

Drawing forth the red tipped dawn

He tio, He Huka, He hau huu

A nip of frost, a touch of snow, a piercing wind

Tihei Mauri Ora   Repeat

Behold the breath of life.
