The New Hakka

The new All Blacks

The new Haka was made specially for the All Blacks in the year 2005 which is called "Kapa O Pango". The new Haka talks about being one with the land, being strong, facing your fear and to become one as a team.

Kapa o pango kia whakawhenua au i ahau!

Let me become one with the land

Hi aue, hi! 

Ko Aotearoa e ngunguru nei!

This is our land that rumbles

Au, au, aue ha!

And it’s my time! It’s my moment!

Ko Kapa o Pango e ngunguru nei!

This defines us as the All Blacks

Au, au, aue ha!

It’s my time! It’s my moment!

I ahaha!

Ka tu te ihiihi

Our dominance

Ka tu te wanawana

Our supremacy will triumph

Ki runga ki te rangi e tu iho nei, 

tu iho nei, hi!

And will be placed on high

Ponga ra!

Silver fern!

Kapa o Pango, aue hi!

All Blacks!

Ponga ra!

Silver fern!

Kapa o Pango, aue hi, ha!

All Blacks

This new Haka is more referred to the rugby team rather than the old one because the old one focused on the warriors. The All Blacks first performed this Haka was against Africa in August 2005 and the gesture used was mainly the thumb down the throat, interpreting that this is a gesture of "throat-slitting" directed to the oppose team.
