Since I was so free this afternoon (hahahhaha....actually I made myself free..eventhough I have tons n tons of work), I went thru all da pics in my folder, & there were these pics from teh Haka Dance tat me & my other teambluers perform at Midyear KickOff Last Year...
We Rock!!!!
Haka Dance is performed by the Legendary ALL Blacks before they start a Football Match.
Ka Mate! Ka Mate!Ka Ora! Ka Ora!
Tenei te ta ngata puhuru huru
Nana nei i tiki maiWhakawhiti te ra
A upane ka upane!A upane kaupane whiti te ra!Hi!!
The History..
The Fijians chant is the "cibi" and that of Tonga the "kailao".
Before the Haka is performed by the team, the Haka leader, normally an All Black of Maori descent, will instigate the Haka and spur on those who are to perform the Haka with the following.
Ringa pakia
Uma tiraha
Turi whatia
Hope whai ake
Waewae takahia kia kino
English Translation
Slap the hands against the thighs
Puff out the chest
Bend the knees
Let the hip follow Stamp the feet as hard as you can.
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!!
English Translation
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!
Kamate Kamate Kora Heii
Kamate Kamate Kora Heii
Tenete Tanata Furu Furu
Na-na-ne-i tikimai Fakafiti tera
A-Upane Ka-Upane
A-Upane Kupane Fiti Tera
