Ka Mate - New Zealand Māori Haka

[Leader:]
Taringa whakarongo!
Kia rite! Kia rite! Kia mau!
 
[Team:]
Hī!
 
[Leader:]
Ringa ringa pakia!
Waewae takahia kia kino nei hoki!
 
[Team:]
Kia kino nei hoki!
 
[Leader:]
Ka mate! Ka mate!
 
[Team:]
Ka ora! Ka ora!
 
[Leader:]
Ka mate! Ka mate!
 
[Team:]
Ka ora! Ka ora!
 
[Leader:]
Tēnei te tangata pūhuruhuru
Nāna ne I tiki mai whakawhiti te rā
A upane! Ka upane!
A upane kaupene
Whiti te rā!
Hī!

We Die

[Leader:]
Ears open!
Get ready! Line up! Stand fast!
 
[Team:]
Yeah!
 
[Leader:]
Slap the hands against the thighs!
Stomp the feet as hard as you can!
 
[Team:]
As hard as we can!
 
[Leader:]
We die! We die!
 
[Team:]
We live! We live!
 
[Leader:]
You die! You die!
 
[Team:]
We live! We live!
 
[Leader:]
Here stands the hairy man
Who summons the Sun and makes it shine!
Ride now! Ride now!
Take the first step
Let the sunshine in!
Rise!
