He honore

He hōnore, he korōria1 Maungārongo ki te whenua Whakaaro2 pai e Ki ngā tangata katoa Ake ake, ake ake Āmine Te Atua, te piringa, Toku oranga

Honour, glory and peace to the land May good thoughts come to all men for ever and ever, for ever and ever. Amen. The Lord is the refuge and my life.

Karakia

Kia hora te marino,
Kia whakapapa pounamu te moana,
Kia tere kārohirohi i mua i tou huarahi.

May calm be spread around you,
May the sea glisten like greenstone
And the shimmer of summer dance across your path.

Whakawatea

Hei Konei Ra Kawakawa

Hei konei ra Kawakawa     

ka hoki nei i a au   

ki te hau kainga

Ki te whare korero   

A tukutuku hekeheke  

E o taku Kauwhatatanga

Oku kupu maioha  

Ki a koutou te matariki

Ma te reo e hoe i te waka

Te waka o kapa haka

No te hiahia ki te haka   

Kua ea  kua reka  

A wairua,  a waiata

Ko ta te whakaaro nui

Ko te whakakotahi  

Ki a tini e

Kia tini mai tawhiti mai i tata

Kia hiki nuku,  kia hiki rangi ki te whare ka riro

Ko te aroha hei hoa

No reira kia piki te ora ko te iwi pouri

Ko te hiahia ki te haka
Kua ea kua reka,  a wairua a waiata

Ko ta te whakaaro nui
Ko te whakakotahi
kia tini e

Kia tini mai tawhiti mai i tata x2

Kia tini mai tawhiti mai i tata

Karakia

Nau mai e nga hua o te wao, 
O te ngakina, o te wai tai, o te wai maori 
Na Tane, na Rongo, na Tangaroa, na Maru.
Ko Ranginui e tu iho nei 
Ko Papataanuku e takoto ake nei 
Tuturu whiti whakamaua kia tina, tina, 
Haumi e, hui e, Taiki e

(I welcome the gifts of food from the sacred forests, from the cultivated gardens, from wild plants, from the sea and the fresh waters. I acknowledge Ranginui (sky father) who is above me and Papatanuku (earth mother) who lies beneath me. Let this be my commitment to them all.

Tōrea

Torea  by Te Kakano

Ko taku rite ko te torea, ka rere, ka topa

Katoa: Ki runga ee

Tau iho ki te tahuna, ki te keri i te pataka, o Hinemoana

Tai timu, Tai pari, he poto noa iho te wa.

Kaea: Ka whati...

Katoa: Ko te tai, ka pao, te torea...

Kaea: Ka whati...

Katoa: Ko te tai, ka pao, te torea.. Kotahi atu ana.

Kia rite taua, ki te manu Torea, kaua e whakaroa keria, keria. Kei whiti ana te ra.

Tai timu, Tai pari, he poto noa iho te wa.

Kaea: Ka whati...

Katoa: Ko te tai, ka pao, te torea...

Kaea: Heyy  heyy

Kaea: Ka whati...

Katoa: Ko te tai, ka pao, te torea.. Kotahi atu ana.

Kaea: uuu Tai timu, Tai pari, he poto noa iho te wa

Katoa: Poto noa iho te wa.

Kaea: Ka whati

Katoa: Ko te tai, ka pao, te torea..

Kaea: Ka whati...

Katoa: Ko te tai,

Kaea: Ka whati te tai, iiiii

Katoa: Ka pao, te torea.. Kotahi atu ana.

Kaea: Heyyyy

Katoa: Kei whiti ana te ra.

Kaea: Te ra

Katoa: Kei whiti ana te ra.

Kaea: Keri, keria

Katoa: Kei whiti ana te ra.x2

Ko taku rite ko te torea, ka rere, ka topa

Katoa: uuuuuuu

Translation

Tōrea, written by Pere Wihongi, is about making the most of opportunities in the short time that we have, "It encourages and reminds the listener of the short time one has to bring to reality their aspirations. Its like the Tōrea when the tide is out the Tōrea only has limited time to go and gather food for its self and when the tide comes in the Tōrea retreats back to its den.
