Ringa pakia
(Slap the hands against the thighs)

Uma tiraha
(Puff out the chest)

Turi whatia
(Bend the knees)

Hope whai ake
(Let the hip follow)

Waewae takahia kia kino
(Stamp the feet as hard as you can)

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!)

not forgetting to stick your tongue out and roll yours eyes! I am sure England won't be too phased by the haka tomorrow - rumour has it they are going to retaliate by doing a terrifying morris dance, complete with bells and hankies.
