Karakia Timatanga
Whakataka te hau ki te uru
Whakataka te hau ki te tonga
Kia mākinakina ki uta, kia mātaratara ki tai
E hi ake ana te atākura
He tio, he huka, he hauhū
Tīhei mauriora!
Cease the winds from the West
Cease the winds from the South
Let the gentle breezes blow over the land
Let the red tipped dawn come
With a sharpened air, a touch of frost
A promise of a glorious day!

He waka eke noa
A canoe which we are all in with no exception
We are all in this together. An example of when this can be used perhaps when a group of you are going to the movies but one of them doesn't have any money so wouldn't be able to go along. You can say he waka eke noa, meaning you will pay as you are all in one group and it would not be the same if they were to miss out.
