Maori Haka

Here's a link to a video clip from the PBS series "Dances of Life"
Its a clip on one of the Haka, traditional Maori dances and chants.



The translated chant goes:

Make the earth tremble
As hard as we can
I am doomed! I will die!
No I am alive! Life is mine!
I will be defeated! I will die!
No! I take back my life. Life is mine!
I am born of distinguished people
Whose legacy shines on me like the sun.
Keep abreast! Keep abreast!
In your ranks hold fast! Into the shining sun!
- Maori War chant
