Mihi -- Greetings

 

Whakataka te hau ki te Uru -- Cease O winds from the West

Whakataka te hau ki te Tonga -- Cease O winds from the South

Kia makinakina ki uta -- Let the calm breezes flow over the land

Kia mataratara ki tai -- Let the calm breezes flow over the sea

E hi ake ana te atakura -- Let the red-tipped dawn come with a sharpened air

He huka he tio he hauhu -- A touch of frost and a promise of a glorious day

Tihe Mauriora! -- Behold 'tis the first breath of life!



 

The John Royal Gallery would to thank the many international clients from France, UK, Japan and the USA for your patronage.
