Ka mate Ka mate
It is death It is death

Ka ora Ka ora
It is life It is life
Ka mate Ka mate
It is death It is death

Ka ora Ka ora
It is life It is life

Tenei Te Tangata Puhuruhuru
This is the hairy man

Nana i tiki mai whakawhiti te ra
Who caused the sun to shine again for me

Upane Upane
Up the ladder Up the ladder

Upane Kaupane
Up to the top

Whiti te ra
The sun shines!

More or less it is the same haka.

Look up haka on wiki or the translation on the All Black's rugby site as they do they same version as well.

I know that the AB and BYU do the same version.

I've listened to the following hakas again. The words are definitely different. Do you know?

The first one does have the same lyrics they have just added to the start & end. Didnt watch the rest

You do realise though that there are more than one type of Haka? Have you ever watch Australia South Africa, PNG, Vanauatu they all have one

The Haka "Ka Mate Ka Mate" is a Maori war dance essentially from the Polynesian Maori culture, but no doubt we all have Haka within us all this is just how the Maori people express it. Samoa, Tonga Fiji all have one and when ever they compete in sport they perform these to each other its just the best to see that true Polynesian style!! no one does it better!! its an actual discipline that leads onto Healing practices and then Mamau (hand to hand combat) weaponry ie. Taiaha (fighting staff) Patu (hand wield fighting club and many others.

All these other people performing the haka is a version of the Maori Haka made famous by a Maori chief Te Rauparaha then later by the All Blacks rugby team Aotearoa (New Zealand)s No.1 sport and now it has become a symbol of Identity for all our nation.

This is al the same haka. But some have the call to it while some of the others dont or have a bit of it. the full "call" is
ringa pakia
uma tiraha
turi whatia
hope whai ake
wae wae takahia kia kino
Its all the kamate haka. look up on wiki pedia under all blacks.

I'm wondering if anyone might provide a word-for-word translation of the four hakas listed earlier.

Thank you for your time!

See post #6 where all four hakas are in YouTube format.

If you are unable to view them, I'll try to think of some other way to get them to you.
