New Zealand Haka

Maori Version

Ka mate Ka mate
Ka ora Ka ora
Ka mate Ka mate
Ka ora Ka ora
Tenei Te Tangata Puhuruhuru
Nana i tiki mai whakawhiti te ra
Upane Upane
Upane Kaupane
Whiti te ra

English Version

It is death It is death
It is life It is life
It is death It is death
It is life It is life
This is the hairy man
Who caused the sun to shine again for me
Up the ladder Up the ladder
Up to the top
The sun shines!
