  2. The Te Rauparaha Haka:

    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!

    Kapa o pango haka:

    This haka was first performed by the All Blacks versus South Africa on 27 August 2005 at Carisbrook, Dunedin. The All Blacks won 31 - 27. This haka was written by Ngati Porou's Derek Lardelli. This haka will only be performed before special test matches.

    Kapa o pango kia whakawhenua au i ahau!

    Let me become one with the land

    Hi aue, hi!

    Ko Aotearoa e ngunguru nei!

    This is our land that rumbles

    Au, au, aue ha!

    And it's my time! It's my moment!

    Ko Kapa o Pango e ngunguru nei!

    This defines us as the All Blacks

    Au, au, aue ha!

    It's my time! It's my moment!

    I ahaha!

    Ka tu te ihiihi

    Our dominance

    Ka tu te wanawana

    Our supremacy will triumph

    Ki runga ki te rangi e tu iho nei,

    tu iho nei, hi!

    And will be placed on high

    Ponga ra!

    Silver fern!

    Kapa o Pango, aue hi!

    All Blacks!

    Ponga ra!

    Silver fern!

    Kapa o Pango, aue hi, ha!

    All Blacks!
