10th November 2006 : Translation of the New Zealand Haka

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!

This is the original Haka, done here in front of France

This is the current version, specific to this team

This is the 'Teapot Haka'

This one is brilliant. The 2003 World Cup, in which the Tongans responded to the Haka with their own war chant, the Sipi-tai. Didn't help them much though, they lost 91 - 7.
