Māori Television Launch
Television (Full Length) – 2004
Whakaata Māori Dawn Service karakia, transcribed
Whakataka te hau ki te uru
Whakataka te hau ki te tonga
Kia mākinakina ki uta
Kia mātaratara ki tai
Kia hī ake he atākura he tio
He huka he hau hu
Ki te whai ao ki te ao marama
Tihei mauria ora
Prayer:
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.
To the dawn light, to the world of light
The breath, the energy of life.
[The karakia was transcibed by Anahera Higgins]
