KA MATE HAKA
L: Ringa pakia, Waewae takahia
ALL: Kia kino nei hoki
Ka mate, Ka mate! Ka ora, Ka ora!
Ka mate, Ka mate! Ka ora, Ka ora!
Tenei te tangata puhuruhuru
Nana i tiki mai whakawhiti te ra!
A hupane, a hupane
A hupane, kaupane 
Whiti te ra! Hi!
 
Slap your thigh! Stamp your feet! 
As hard as we can!
‘Tis death, ‘tis death
‘Tis life, ‘tis life
A fully grown man
Who can bring back the sun
So it will shine on us again
A step up, another step up
A step up, another step up
Let the sunshine in!

TIKA TONU HAKA
L:Tāringa whakarongo! 
   Kia rite, kia rite - kia mau! ALL: HI!
L:Torōna titaha! ALL: Titaha!
L:Tika tonu! ALL: Au-e!
L:Tika tonu! ALL: Au-e!
Tika tonu atu ki a koe, e tama 
Hiki nei koe aku whakaaro, pakia!
He hiki aha to hiki? He hiki roa to hiki? 
I a ha hā!
E tama, te uaua ana, 
E tama, te mārō 
Roa ina hoki ra 
Te tohe o te uaua na, E tāu nei. 
Āna! kss Āna! kss Āna! Kss

Aue… Hī!

Be true to yourself, my son!
You have raised my concerns, so listen up!
What is this problem you are carrying?
How long have you been carrying it for?
Have you got that? Right, let's go on!
So, son although it may be difficult for you 
and son, although it seems to be unyielding 
no matter how long you reflect on it 
the answer to the problem 
is here inside you.
Indeed! Indeed! Indeed! Yes, indeed!
