	MĀTAHI Ā TE TAU Mātahi a te tau ko te tīmataka Ka haea a Matariki, a Puaka Wheriko ana i te pō atarau Ka puta te hā o Makariri Anō ko te paoa i te hau e..i Tukua iho te huka-ā-tara He huka kapu, he huka wai Kai te oka te huka a Māruaroa Pekea kā rika, tautau te hupe Ka Toru, ka Whā, ko te Kana e Pua kōwhai ki uta, inaka ki tai Ka mahiti te Rima ki te mahi kai Tuhakerekere i te Ono Hei ō mō te Whitu mā te iwi e..i Te haka a Tāne Rore i te Waru I te Iwa, i te Kahuru Matiti ki te Ao, Uruao ki ruka Ka heke a tōtā, a werawera I Matiti Tau, Matiti Hana Matiti Kaiwai, Matiti Kaipaeka Matiti Rūwai e Ka roko i te taki o te kaikore Āwhiowhio ana i te whenua Pōpōroa ana ki a Kahuru Hei whakawheti i a tia e..i Ka tū te whata kai a Rēhua He nui nō te kai Kahuru Kaipaeka ko te ora e Whakatika ake rā e te iwi Ka riro ki whea, ki te toka Kai te Haere te tau e.	*’TIS MAY* The month of May signifies the beginning Matariki and Puaka tear through the night sky Glistening in the twilight The breath of Winter Is like smoke upon the wind The hail stones are thrown down Big flakes of snow, accompanied by sleet The snow of June stabs the skin Hands numbed by cold, the nose dribbling Then there is July, August, ‘tis Spring Kōwhai blooms ashore, inaka in the tide September is consumed with the labour of food October is a time for distribution As sustenance for November for the tribe The sun rays dance In the months of December, January and February It is the season of Matiti,Uruao shines above The sweat descends from the brow In the five divisions of the summer months The sound of the hungry can be heard Swirling across the land Waiting longingly for Autumn So that the bellies can be content again The storehouse of Rehua stands forth Oh the abundance of food March is a time of good health The people rise up together And where might they be going? To the south It is the season for travel, April is here.
