The words of the famous HAKA as performed by All Black teams
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! A hupane, kaupane
A hupane, kaupane whiti te ra!
New Zealand National Anthem Maori English
E Ihowa Atua God of Nations at thy feet
O nga iwi, matou ra In the bonds of love we meet
Ata Whakarongona Hear our Voices, we entreat
Me aroha noa God defend our free land
Kiahua Ko te pai Guard Pacific’s triple star
Kiatau to atawhai From the shafts of strife and war
Manaakitia Mai Make her praises heard afar
Aotearoa God defend New Zealand.
