Kahungunu Mãori Haka by Jerome Kavanagh in Mãori

Tika tonu
Ue Tika tonu
Ue Tika tonu atu Kia koe e Tama
Hiki nei koe Aku Whakaaro
Pakia e hiki aha to hiki e hiki Roa to hiki I aha ha!

Stand strong!
Stand true!
Move with the upmost integrity our future generations
Arise your thoughts
May your troubles lift away and fall into the distance!
