Te Riri o Tāwhirimātea

Unrelenting is your wrath

E kore e mutu tō pukuriri

Angry with humankind

E riri tonu ana ki te hunga tāngata

Our homes, our families, our lands

Ngā kāinga, ngā whānau, ngā whenua

We cry to those lost

Tangihia mō te hunga mate

We feel your rage

Ka rongo mātou i tō riri

Across our land

Puta noa i te motu

This is the rage

Koianei te riri

of the god of storms

o Tāwhirimātea

Livid with rage (idiomatic phrase)

Puku o te rae e

The power of the wind

Te kaha o te hau

Coming from all directions (E, W, S, N)

Mai te rāwhiti, mai te hauāuru, mai te tonga, mai te raki

Winds all around (NW, NE, SW, SE)

Pārera kotipū, pāwhakarua, tonga-mā-uru, tonga-mā-rāwhiti

We feel your rage

Ka rongo mātou i tō riri

Across our land

Puta noa i te motu

This is the rage

Koianei te riri

Of the god of storms

o Tāwhirimātea

Livid with rage (idiomatic phrase)

Puku o te rae e

The power of the wind

Te kaha o te hau

This is the rage

Ko te riri tenei e

Of the god of storms

o Tāwhirimātea

Titiro

Pūnganangana

Pūnganangana

Puaka haua te tawhito o te rangi

He Uru ra ko te hau

He Tonga ra ko te hau

Ka hara mai

Ka tinei

Ka tinei kia mate

Look there!

It is very blustery

Persistently relentless.

Struck down (hidden) is the star

That ancient guide in the sky.

From the west is the wind

From the south is the wind

Pushing rudely in

Extinguishing our body warmth

Extinguishing it near to death.
