Want to be awesome and learn a local haka?

Tau Ka Tau originates from a traditional haka that is common to the Waikato area. From the translations, we could assume that this is a poowhiri haka (haka of welcome).  However, as we have learnt, haka is about community, strength and unity, therefore could be performed to serve other purposes too.




Tau ka tau!!! 
Hiii 
Tau ka tau!!! 
Hii 
Tau ka tau!!!

 Ki runga o Waikato whāngaia mai rā 
Nge nge ngeee 
Arā tu arā te arā tau
 i tahi ka riri, toru ka whā!! 
Homai o kupu kia wetewetea, wetewetea, 
arā tuu arā te arā tau 
hiii

Descending/ approaching
Descending/ approaching
Descending upon Waikato, who await you here
And prepare for your arrival
There will be continuous battle
Give me your threats and I shall make short work of them, in the heat of battle
