Haka (Ka Mate)

Ka mate! Ka mate! Ka ora! Ka ora!
(I die! I die! I live! I live!)

Ka mate! Ka mate! Ka ora! Ka ora!
(I die! I die! I live! I live!)

Tenei te tangata puhuru huru
(This is the hairy man)

Nana nei i tiki mai
(Who fetched the Sun)

Whakawhiti te ra
(And caused it to shine again)

A upa ... ne! ka upa ... ne!
(One upward step! Another upward step!)

A upane kaupane whiti te ra!
(An upward step, another.. the Sun shines !!!)

Hi !!!
