We have all heard Hakas, but their meaning is something that is not much talked about. The traditional Haka called Ka Mate can be translated into English as:  Muero! Muero! Alive! Alive! Alive! Muero! Muero! Alive! Alive! Alive! This is the hairy man (for Maori being hairy is equivalent to being brave) Who brought the sun, and made it shine again… One step up! Another step up! One step up! One step up again! The sun shines!
