Today, destroyer of souls, I am everywhere
The current lyrics are from 2011 and as follows: In one match, in 2003, Tonga and New Zealand even performed the Sipi Tau and Haka at the same time in a dance off. The Sipi Tau has been one of the most entertaining dances in world rugby, not least because the amount of times the Tongans have faced New Zealand and the Haka at World Cups. It was written in commemoration of a successful tour of New Zealand that year, and has had a variety of different lyrics ever since. Tonga's war dance is called the Sipi Tau and was penned by King Tama Tu'i Tāufaʻāhau Tupou IV in 1994. The hands, arms, legs, feet, voice, eyes, tongue and the body as a whole combine to express courage, annoyance, joy or other feelings relevant to the purpose of the occasion.What is the Tonga dance called and what are the lyrics? Haka may be understood as a kind of symphony in which the different parts of the body represent many instruments. As well as chanted words, a variety of cries and grunts are used. Various actions are employed in the course of a performance, including facial contortions such as showing the whites of the eyes and the poking out of the tongue, and a wide variety of vigorous body actions such as slapping the hands against the body and stamping of the feet. Today, haka constitute an integral part of formal or official welcome ceremonies for distinguished visitors or foreign dignitaries, serving to impart a sense of the importance of the occasion.
War haka (peruperu) were originally performed by warriors before a battle, proclaiming their strength and prowess in order to intimidate the opposition. It is a posture dance performed by a group, with vigorous movements and stamping of the feet with rhythmically shouted accompaniment. Haka is a traditional dance form of the Māori of New Zealand, which has become familiar worldwide through their rugby team display.
