This should have millions upon millions of views! I get goosebumps, powerful and beautiful, what a talented awesome group. Very very proud of our maori culture. Sorry, two comments..but i come back to this EVERY time I need something beautiful. Cant say enough good things.
For those of you who criticize Hayley for singing this, you do know the words don't you? It's about those who leave their homes behind and come over your waters because they love one of you. You are more than Maori by now and people from abroad have sacrificed a lot to share life there with you. Is it a welcome and a love song or is it just an empty performance to you?
I don't criticise it. I understand that basic message of the lyrics and the meaning of the words. It wasn't lost on me. So much so that I wanted to master it. And I believe that I have done so! I've often sung it in the store and right through the pandemic I sang it despite being sorely scared out of my wits. But the words of the song made me realise that there has always got to be a calm voice singing it. Conveying hope and optimism that we would all get through the other side. I originally thought of tagging it with a Hymn to send a message to the people of New Zealand after the tears caused by one man who was sorely disinformed and the rampage of 2019 which cost 51 lives. To send a message from the Mother of the Commonwealth to the child of NZ that there was compassion and understanding. It took me a year to master it. But the Pandemic screwed up with everything on this matter. I wanted to do it. And would have. If not for the pandemic.
I hope I don't insult anyone or their beliefs but, I have learnt this song and this can be played on the Great Highland Bagpipes. The sound is truly magical. The first time I played it was just so emotional.
i have been to NZ, and indeed have kiwi relatives out there, they are so integrated and i think they cherish the Maori heritage that New Zealanders embrace so much, also the Maori peoples have passed on to there counter parts their fierce warrior ethos because NZ troops have proved so brilliant over the years, that includes the aussies and gurhkas
Foi escrito por um soldado Neo Zelandese no primeiro guerra mundial pata a mulher dele em casa, aqui sao as letras. Eles estão agitados, as águas de Waiapu, Mas quando você cruza menina, eles ficarão calmos. Oh menina, voltai-vos a mim, Eu poderia morrer de amor por você. Escrevi minha carta, Eu enviei meu anel, para que seu pessoal possa ver que estou preocupado. Minha pobre caneta está despedaçada, Não tenho mais papel, Mas meu amor continua firme. Meu amor nunca vai ser seco pelo sol, será para sempre umedecido pelas minhas lágrimas.
This very simple song speaks of a Maori soldier in the landing force at Gallipoli in Turkey - and he writes about home, his girlfriend and his tribe. This is also synonymous with a Christmas carol. Silent Night - and it is a very similar situation in the dark days of conflict and doubt. Both are about in the First World War.
Pōkarekare ana, ngā wai o Waiapu Whiti atu koe hine, marino ana e. E hine e, hoki mai ra Ka mate ahau i te aroha e. Tuhituhi taku reta, tuku atu taku rīngi Kia kite tō iwi, raru raru ana e. E hine e, hoki mai ra Ka mate ahau i te aroha e.
Can’t decide which version of Hayley singing this beautiful song I like best. They are all so brilliant - solo, with Russell Watson, with Aled Jones - but this is one sublime blend!
I have selected this evocative Song for my Funeral from the very first time I heard it. As my coffin makes it's journey into the cremation chamber, it is accompanied by the strains of this wonderful Song 🎵 ❤️. God Bless ALL those who attend 🙏. ❤Love & Peace ❤. I've had a most delightful, amazing Life, during which I've helped so many People, and have no regrets. Love ❤️ for my STUDENTS, I enjoyed every minute with you. Long Life for my PATIENTS in the NHS❤. Good Luck for my Family and Friends. I'm still smiling 😇😇👏🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧👍❤️🌹😇
I think it is possible to do this. I will be getting the sheet music and lyrics to it. Trying to do it in Maori is tricky but not impossible. I believe I should try. And I will.
@@fight_iq5275 - I did, indeed! Get the sheet music for this song. And starting over a year from April 2019. Spent almost 10 months to crack it. Unfortunately just before I was going to do this in a bridge between New Zealand and Britain. The pandemic screwed it all up. And totally scuppered the attempt. Infuriating is not a adequate description. Extremely annoying is!
Is that the one with the choir in the background half way through? Yes just looked and I agree the Pure version is the best one. I do however love this one with the Moari singers at the beginning. Powerful.
Better than a bunch of New Zealand natives (who are not really) ranting on about God knows what! She could have managed quite nicely without them....Poor Maoris...Yeah right.
@@gazza2933 Those people are actually Maori, the true NZ natives. You ignorant fool. They are not Ranting, they are performing a war cry that is also used as a form of welcoming people to an event or a performance such as this one. Fucking Idiot
it's a lovely song...but I can't be the only one uncomfortable with how a little whiter than white girl white washes this maori song? lovely voice but maybe pick another song
Beautiful culture, beautiful singer. If you don't understand it or it doesn't move you, sorry but that's your loss. Try to do something to enhance your understanding you may get some pure pleasure from this performance.
I've heard 100's of different people sing this song and by far Hayley is my favourite.
This is awesome..a true combination of what is best from NZ. Our Maori culture is the biggest treasure we have.
I wish the Aussies and Americans felt the same about their indigenous peoples, not because I am PC but because it was there land.
Sorry, "their".
Haley is pakeha and I,m pakeha too but at the end of the day we all love this music because it belongs to all of us who come from Aotearoa
We are lucky ❤️
I have loved this song and all Moari Music but this is by far my favorite I miss New Zealand and my time in the North Island the moari people
This should have millions upon millions of views! I get goosebumps, powerful and beautiful, what a talented awesome group. Very very proud of our maori culture. Sorry, two comments..but i come back to this EVERY time I need something beautiful. Cant say enough good things.

Beautifully sung ❤ She treated this song with such respect !
I hope I don't insult anyone or their beliefs but, I have learnt this song and this can be played on the Great Highland Bagpipes. The sound is truly magical. The first time I played it was just so emotional.
You're not insulting us. You honor us by playing and embracing our songs. Please continue to do so.
I have heard this song played by massed Highland Pipe bands. Sends chills up the spine

There are beautiful singers and culturally beautiful singers and these are amongst the cultural best singers one can hear.........
I love this so much it sends chills down my spine,what an angels voice,in such complete harmony ♡♡♡
This performance is amazing ❤️ makes us Maoris proud❤️.
makes you proud to be a kiwi - no matter how far from our shores we are - kia kaha
Qual a história por trás dessa canção? Do que ela fala?

This is definitely the best
@@lanabills4498 hmmm! I may have to agree. Traditional approaches are sometimes the best way to do so.
most beautiful mix of cultures
784 "likes" - She deserves millions
I love this song my grandmother taught it to me as a child and at the age of 73 I still know it. I am from New Zealand heritage.😍
You are precious. To every NZ person.

@@stephenfarthing485 Wow that sucks.
Indeed! SHADOW_SM! Indeed and technically accurate.
It is and old fashioned Maori love song,I can translate it,but tomorrow,way past my bed time ♡
This is literally what Geoff Knorr copied and pasted😂😂 Love it
I'm from Denmark 🇩🇰. Have only heart it from Norwegian Sissel. What's the story?
😭
What are they singing before Hayley? I wish i understood the lyrics.
This version is better than the one on the "Pure" cd.
Is that the one with the choir in the background half way through? Yes just looked and I agree the Pure version is the best one. I do however love this one with the Moari singers at the beginning. Powerful.
She sings 'Pie Jesu", which too I ile.
I enjoyed this until 2:50 😞
Well you're sad, aren't you.
Better than a bunch of New Zealand natives (who are not really) ranting on about God knows what!
She could have managed quite nicely without them....Poor Maoris...Yeah right.

@@gazza2933 I'm 99.99% sure you're taking the piss about Ganusiyosta's post.
@@gazza2933 instead of acting like a ballbags, try learning next time you don't understand something. Or even better, kaua e kōrero e kurī.
Ah The Haka ! The Maori war dance.
Why did they have to colonise this 🥲
plastic wannabees
This is not a Pakeha song, it does not suit a Pakeha voice!
Beautiful European voice
it's a lovely song...but I can't be the only one uncomfortable with how a little whiter than white girl white washes this maori song? lovely voice but maybe pick another song
Do a little more research on our beloved kiwi Hayley, your mind might just be blown away ♡
Beautiful culture, beautiful singer. If you don't understand it or it doesn't move you, sorry but that's your loss. Try to do something to enhance your understanding you may get some pure pleasure from this performance.
Does not make s any sense... Should be sang by Maori
