Playing this 3 February 2022. In memory of my Mums birthday (86 years) this was one of Dad's favorite pieces of music. May they both rest in peace - Eileen Bridget Devitt and Philip John Devitt 🙏 ❤❤🙏
We adopted this as our family song, I’m not sure why, but I’ve been singing it for 59 years now. I was getting the lyrics slightly wrong, so this video is good to correct that ❤️
Fun fact: No soldiers used to sing this song to Korean kids when the Korean War was on and they’d have a translator next to them to calm them down if something happened
Lol how did you work that out, this was sung by members of Maori Batallion when they left Aotearoa by the whanau on the docks when the ships sailed. Also sung by the expeditionary forces of the Maori Contingent that sailed to Gallipoli.
Any more irritating Maori chants available from this native stooge of a girl singer who would stand well on top of a Christmas tree The background chorus is as pompously antipodean as they come.
@@JW-gl4yp they took a beautiful island chant/song, btw one that I know and love for about 45 years now, and colonized it, turned it into a white nordic western pop song. The singing itself was good though
Lol Hayley can sing this waiata, just to you get your racist shit out of the way her Koro or grandfather on mums side is Maori, pos feckn sully indeed.
Truly the voice of an angel.
I learned this song when I was in primary school and that was 50 years ago... and i still remember the words to the song....

@@XmanSully in other words you're a racist pos who's pissed off because a white person from New Zealand sung a Maori song, and it's not Nordic
@@JW-gl4yp 🤣🥰🤣
