I'm Samoan. They performed this in Cook Island Maori when I was in college in 1980s. Started off with Kia orana 🎶🎶 Always loved this song. Grew up around a lot of Maori and listening to lots of traditional waiatas. Always brings happy memories to me.
I grew up in the Waikato and BOP. I've lived abroad for 20+ years. I still love the songs and Te Reo I learnt as a boy. Proud of my land and people, there really is nothing like Aotearoa. Peace.
Us Maoris and you Samoans are really the same ppl we both polys who branch off from Hawaii, our ancestors would always visit each other, trade and help each other, ye we from the same waka
My brother passed away in NZ after being there for 3 years. He loved it and loved being there with his kiwi parter. He's coming back to Liverpool to be laid to rest and I'm going to play this at his interment with his partner by my side as a last NZ goodbye 😢
Beautiful music and dance! I have been twice in Hawaii and enjoyed polynesian music/dance in the polynesian cultural center (Oahu), luaus, etc, and could discover this music. Everytime I heard/see this music/dance, it comes to my mind sea, wind, coconut trees, happy people fishing, singing and dancing. Congratulations to keep alive these traditions!
I'm Tokelauan,Rarotongan,Samoan and german. My Tokelauan is the most spoken korero spoken at home. Born and raised in Aoutearoa and find Rarotongan and Tokelau are the closest language to te reo. My nan and mum loved waita Maori because they understood word for word and would translate and sing these waita in their own reo. So beautiful.
Tokelau is closest to Samoan and Tuvaluan. Toke has some old consonants and the original proto Polynesian K which is found in Maori and was once in Samoan which is why Maori is understood to a degree.
Being a Samoan growing up in Kapa haka this still feels like my culture lol the live ins, haka offs, kapas the hangis! Miss it all such a beautiful culture
Tena koutou. Thanks for sharing. My young daughters liked listening. Was thinking about Nana and this song just stayed in my head all day. My favourite song to sing as a kid. Beautiful
Hi Carlos. I'm about the same with you on this. Roughly 15years so long aye we sang this in our kapahaka performance. Now I forget how to pronounce the waiata properly..,🙄 my daughter reckons i sound like a Pākehā 🤦 ASHAMED OF myself tbh. Should be well tuned by now at my age.. I'm sorry
Beautiful Maori culture. No one could ever imagine how many amazing and unique beauty the native Americans can show to the world, if their countries and tribes are still there.
I remember learning this when I was in Māori culture group at primary school I’m a cocongati but this waiata has stayed always stayed with me ever since then and when I here this at Māori parties it takes me way back to those days Tumeke alright chur ma Māoris👍
Was just having drinks in the garage with all boys i went to primary school with (samoans, tokelauans, niuens cook islanders) and this was the one song we all still knew from primary school word for word, harmonies and all hahaha. Thanks whaea elma for teaching us naughty island boys this waiata!lol
We have to learn this song for prize giving. And I am working so hard because it is my country. I am sure we will do a wonderful job. This is a very inspiring song. I must learn the moves along with the song. 🙂
Why don’t we have people around this world show this !!! So many different races and so many beautiful songs !!! Why are we still fighting race ??? I will never understand it !!! So much beautiful music and food out there !!! Sorry !!! Anthony Bourdain quote !!!

Such an amazing culture, I have always been fascinated by the polynesian culture, the fact that they live near sea where they can see the beauty of the sky and the sea at the same time, I dream of visting all of the islands one day to see it's amazing beauty one day. Love from the Philippines 🇵🇭
How could anyone down vote this video? It's beautiful. Don't have to understand the words at all. Maori music is powerful once it gets going. It's like the heartbeat of the earth, the flow of the waters and wind together, absolutely in harmony! Beautiful and thank you for posting this!
I remember back in year 6 whenever the Māori group got up to preform this. And at the last part of the haka, all the boys in the school would put their toughest Māori accent and sing along “RUA ANA TE WHENUA WHATI ANA HI!!” I miss that time
I love this song, though I listened to the Hawaiian version. Either version is still beautiful, and it’s awesome to see the same song being performed on the opposite side of the pacific
I remember singing this waiata when I was younger but I am sure we sang a part that said "Kurahaupo te waka...". Is this a regional version for a different iwi?
I have travelled to Aotearoa Land of the long white cloud. And did many cultural exchanges from Hawaiian to Maori. Very grateful to have gone to the Marae and meet the elders in spirit and in person ❤❤❤
I love it especially when I am A Silveradale school person well I’m practically a student but I just love Kapa haka it’s literally my favorite thing but sometimes I don’t really look forward to it mostly when I am younger when I was younger I used to love it When I was year 1 I embraced my spirit and Kapa haka

Samoans are their own people’s. We are privileged to be whanau Katoa.

Respect for you bro sorry to hear about your brother❤❤❤❤❤❤
Me tangi, kāpā ko te mate i te marama. (Let us mourn and weep for him, for truly he dieth not as the moon dies).
It is so comforting to hear this Waiata I use to sing this at primary many years ago and had forgotten it
I used rako today for Maori language week
Yes....
Me to my bro!!
@charlotte grace ?
So true! Almost makes me cry to hear this. Such a blessing to hear this!
Beautiful music and dance! I have been twice in Hawaii and enjoyed polynesian music/dance in the polynesian cultural center (Oahu), luaus, etc, and could discover this music.
Everytime I heard/see this music/dance, it comes to my mind sea, wind, coconut trees, happy people fishing, singing and dancing. Congratulations to keep alive these traditions!
this song is from us the Maori if u didn't know
@@sjthegoat_let me explain in 2 parts. 1) Polynesian center, 2) Maori I belongs to Polynesia. 🙂
@@sjthegoat_ yes Maori. And love it!
oh yeah thats right
yeeees from Wales! the New Zealand of the north! dalwch ati, cadwch eich diwylliant x
I am almost 48 years old. I remember this song from almost 30yeats ago.
This is the version that I do deeply love….. please don’t change it.

So glad I found this beautiful singin’ and dancin’ coulture and this particular song! It helped me already quiet a few times through difficult times
Lifes a gift hope all rolls smooth for you..
Yes beautiful waiata.
Made me happy too
Being a Samoan growing up in Kapa haka this still feels like my culture lol the live ins, haka offs, kapas the hangis! Miss it all such a beautiful culture
Tena koutou. Thanks for sharing. My young daughters liked listening. Was thinking about Nana and this song just stayed in my head all day. My favourite song to sing as a kid. Beautiful
Finally I found the song❤ . Fell in love with this on the day when NZ women cricketers sang it on their World Cup winning day. Lovely . ❤️🔥👍
I haven't heard this song in 25years I was about 7 when I last preformed this in our maori group 😭 brings back memories
Hi Carlos. I'm about the same with you on this. Roughly 15years so long aye we sang this in our kapahaka performance. Now I forget how to pronounce the waiata properly..,🙄 my daughter reckons i sound like a Pākehā 🤦
ASHAMED OF myself tbh.
Should be well tuned by now at my age..
I'm sorry
I am in American--and I want to learn this song and moves--soooooo badly. This just an emotional experience watching this
Alot of meaning that can relate to alot of people from all cultures
There is different variations of the actions though the words stay the same (just like to note that)
aw i like that you like our culture
Well if u wanna join Come to NZ and learn some Māori
come to nz it great
Beautiful Maori culture. No one could ever imagine how many amazing and unique beauty the native Americans can show to the world, if their countries and tribes are still there.
They're definitely still there
maori agent Native American bro, wrong side of the world.
I'm Asian, I don't understand any Maori songs but it makes me teary eyed when I listen to one.
Maori have the best singing voices and culture proud to be Maori 🤙🏽✊🏽
I remember this was our school song in primary school! We would sing it at the end of every assembly. Miss those days ❤️❤️ #KingsfordPrimaryScool
To the fine people of Aotearoa from your cousins in Hawaiʻi, "Mahalo nui loa iāʻoukou. Aloha nō."

Brings back so many good memories singing this song at school years ago.
Just think how impoverished our world would be without all the richness added by the planet’s indigenous cultures.
