Rainbow warrior

Image result for rainbow warrior book
The rainbow ship sailing slowly
The blue sea waving darkly
The gray clouds floating gloomly
The white dove gliding happily
The mysterious dove sailing slowly
The dark ocean rippling darkly
The salty winds whistling gently
The big sails waving calmly
The soaring dove gliding calmly

Whakataka Te Hau

                                      Whakataka Te Hau


Whakataka te hau ki te uru
Whakataka te hau ki te tonga
Kia mākinakina ki uta
Kia mātaratara ki tai
E hī ake ana te atakura
He tio, he huka, he hau hū
Tīhei mauri ora!
Cease the winds from the west
Cease the winds from the south
Let the breeze blow over the land
Let the breeze blow over the ocean
Let the red-tipped dawn come with a sharpened air.
A touch of frost, a promise of a glorious day.
