« New haka gets public approval », sur tvnz.co.nz : « Composer Derek Lardelli said that Kapa O Pango ends with the word 'Ha' which translates as the breath of life. "The words and motions represent drawing vital energy into the heart and lungs." The right arm searches for the 'Ha' on the left side of the body, Lardelli explained, while the head turns to the right also symbolically seeking vital energy. The right hand hauls that energy into the pou-whakaora (the heart, lungs and air passages), then the eyes and tongue signal that the energy has been harnessed before it is expelled with the final 'Ha.' »
