New Zealand’s haka
Haka means “Maori dance”, one that was traditionally performed at the onset of war to unite the people in anger and courage.
They try to scare away enemies by widely opening up their eyes, sticking out their tongues long, howling hostile words, stomping their own chests, and stamping their feet on the ground, etc.
There are several types of haka, but Ka Mate is the most popular.

* When D-Day comes 当那一天来临这是一个晴朗的早晨 鸽哨声伴着起床号音
但是这世界并不安宁 和平年代也有激荡的风云
看那军旗飞舞的方向 前进着战车舰队和机群

准备好了吗 士兵兄弟们
当那一天真的来临
放心吧祖国 放心吧亲人 为了胜利我要勇敢前进
