    A ra ra! Ka panapana, A ha ha - Lo, it is throbbing! A ha ha!
    Ka rekareka tonu taku ngakau - My heart is throbbing delighted
    Ki nga mana ririki i pohatu whakapiri - With the common people, like stones stuck together
    Kia haramai te takitini, - Who have come in their multitudes
    Kia haramai te takimano, - Who have come in their thousands
    Kia paretaitokotia ki Rawhiti! - And alighted upon the Eastern sea.
    Hi! Ha! - Hi! Ha!
    He mamae, he mamae! A ha ha! - Alas, there is a multitude of pain!
    Ka haere, ka haere taku powhiri - My call of welcome goes out
    Ki te Tai Whakarunga! - To the Southern Sea!
    Hoki mai, hoki mai taku tinana! - But alas comes back to me!
    Ka haere, ka haere taku powhiri - My words of welcome go out
    Ki te Tai Whakararo! - To the Northern Sea!
    Hoki mai, hoki mai taku tinana! - But again come back to me!
    Kia huri au ki te tai whakatu a Kupe - So I turn to the sea which Kupe raised up
    Ki te tai o Matawhero i motu mai! - To the sea which breaks at Matawhero!
    E ko Hitara ki roto ki aku ringa, - There is Hitler within my embrace,
    Kutia rawatia kia pari tona ihu! - Where I will crush him and break him!
    Hi ha! Auahi ana! Kss! Kss hei! - Hi! Ha! It is fitting!
    Kia whakanga hoki au i ahau - Now let me pause and rest awhile
    I aue! Hei! - Down, down to the ground

      +Michalis Famelis This Haka was written on the return of the Maori Battalion. They are calling out to those who didnt return and the description of "throbbing delight" is for those who did return. Hope this puts the context into it for you. If you go to my page and search Ka panapana in the search box you will get the full haka. This has been shortened and changed slightly.

    This is the second traditional Maori dance I've looked at in less than 10 minutes and I am shocked and amazed anybody would press the thumbs down button. There is nothing I repeat nothing more beautiful than to be able to sustain and practice your culture what is not to like. As a black woman I have to go look for it but they have it right there and it's beautiful I be damn to feel any negativity around this. beautiful beautiful

    I wish there was more power behind their movements and faces. That's my only criticism. They did a great job reciting the dance, but there wasn't any ferocity behind the movements and voice. It seems like they were just going through the motions and not involved with the material.

    As cool as this is, ( I think the idea of female performing Haka is kind of awesome ) I think the deep grunts and voices of men are better suited for it. This is completely awesome though! Especially the person who translated it! It's really emotional, the words I mean. Better than 98% of all poetry and music I hear!
