Tawhirimatea

Tawhirimatea, Future Whakaaro (Wire Tekoteko 2013)

Whano koe ki te rangi,Ki a Tawhirimatea

Kia Kaha ai koe,Kia toa ai koe,

Kia whai mana ai koe!

Go to the heavens,

To Tawhirimatea,

So that you will be strong, 

So that you will be brave,

So that you will have mana!

(unknown author on original, but translated by Michael Shirres in his book Te Tangata, 1997)
