Whakataka te hau ki te uru [ get ready for the westerly ] Whakataka te hau kit e tonga [ and be prepared for the southerly ] Kia makinakina ki uta [ it will be icy cold inland ] Kia mataratara ki tai [ and icy cold on the shore ] E hi ake ana te atakura he tio [ may the dawn rise red-tipped on the ice ] He huka, he hauhunga [ on snow, on frost ] Haumi e! Hui e! Taiki e! [ join! gather! intertwine! ]
