The Ka Mate! haka

The leader of the haka calls out the following refrain befor the haka starts:
Ringa pakia
Uma tiraha
Turi whatia
Hope whai ake
Waewae takahia kia kino
Slap the hands against the thighs
Puff out chest
Bend the knees
Let hip follow
Stamp the feet as hard as possible

A Ka mate! Ka mate! Ka ora! Ka ora!

(repeat 2 and 3)

Tenei te ta ngata

 

puhuru huru Nana nei i tiki mai whakawhiti te ra! A, upane! ka upane!

(repeat 2 and 3)

whiti te ra! Hi

 

English Translation:
Ka Mate! Ka Mate!
Ka Ora! Ka Ora!
Tenei te ta ngata puhuru huru
Nana nei i tiki mai
Whakawhiti te ra
A upane ka upane!
A upane kaupane whiti te ra!
Hi!!
It is death! It is death!
It is life! It is life!
This is the hairy person
Who caused the sun to shine
Keep abreast! Keep abreast
The rank! Hold fast!
Into the sun that shines!
