Ka Mate is actually a Maori poem that caught our attention due to the energetic
way it is chanted-danced to and the power and pronunciation of the words
that had sent chills down our spines the first time it hit our ears.

Te Rauparaha, a Maori Ngāti Toa chief composed Ka Mate as a celebration of life over death after his lucky escape from pursuing Ngati Maniapoto and Waikato enemies.

The Ka Mate is performed before every confrontation to honor your opponent
in the fight about to commence.

Nowadays it is used as a pre game ritual for most of New Zealand's athletic teams
with a few variations here and there.
The most popular version is the one performed by New Zealand's Rugby team, the "All Blacks".

KA MATE

Ka mate! Ka mate!
Ka ora! Ka ora!
Ka mate! Ka mate!
Ka ora! Ka ora!

Tenei te tangata puhuru-huru
Nana nei i tiki mai
Whakawhiti te ra!
Aue upane! Aue Kaupane!
Aue upane, Kaupane
Whiti te ra!
Hi!

We added two translations of the lyrics.

I live I live
I die I die

Behold the brave man!

Translation wise there are a few different here and there over the internet
with different interpretations of the meaning.
The bottom line remains the same though...

Cheers
