Mura won. Finally a house that i am in wins. So right now one of Mura hse cheers is playing over and over in my head. I shall list the cheer words below then. The Words of Ka Mate 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 pakiaUma tirahaTuri whatiaHope whai akeWaewae takahia kia kinoEnglish Translation:Slap the hands against the thighsPuff out the chestBend the kneesLet the hip followStamp the feet as hard as you can.Ka Mate! Ka Mate!Ka Ora! Ka Ora!Ka Mate! Ka Mate!Ka Ora! Ka Ora!
Tenei te ta ngata puhuru huruNana nei i tiki mai
Whakawhiti te raA 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 personWho caused the sun to shineKeep abreast! Keep abreastThe rank! Hold fast!Into the sun that shines!
