Waerea kia pure

This karakia uses different metaphors relating to the taiao to cleanse the negative and to free up a path for those present. It uses traditional references to Ranginui and Papatūānuku to refer to the earth and the sky. The gloomy clouds refer to ailments and negativity, and the bountiful land represents opportunity and a way forward.

Waerea i runga
Waerea i raro
Waerea kia pure
Waerea kia para

Tiraki ana te kapua mōkinokino
Manaha ana te whenua taurikura
Tārake a Nuku, tīhore a Rangi


Kia mahea te hua mākihikihi
Tūturu whakamaua kia tina Tina!
Haumi ē! hui ē! tāiki ē!
English
Clear it above
Clear it below
Clear so it is purified
And it is free

The gloomy clouds lift and the
bountiful land is clear
The land is cleared and the skies
have peeled open

Let the way forward be free
Clear the path for us to walk upon
Bind it and make it so!
