Same. Love Maoris. They're beautiful people 😍❤️My ex is half Maori. My kid's have Maori blood. Bloody proud of them for acknowledging their Maori history.

Can someone guide me to some funny material? These days people have too serious! We need a laugh and Kiwis do that to perfection!!!

Daniel Carrick Thanks for the interpretation. Unbelievably, I've just heard this song for the first time today!! So far I've played it back at least 20 or more times. The tune and the harmony give me chills each time. I'm betting it'll be a while before I tire of it, If ever. God bless the Maori people.
I am not New Zealander but I taught the kids at my Kindy this song and they just love it. It took me about a week to get the lyrics down pat and a Kiwi friend says that I sound like an authentic Maori!

Im PNG, and have much respect for the Maori Culture. I have Maori friend's who live 2 house's down and they always play this every Friday/Sunday. Much love to all you Kiwis✊
This song was played at my Mums funeral. I was a kid when it was released, and she was this big white woman teaching in Otara. She had all the kids singing it throughout the school. It's stuck with me since. Transcends all cultures in NZ as a true kiwi icon!
Damn.. Every time I hear this song it reminds me of the Maori fellas I played with while living in New Zealand. Those maori guys, even their frightening size and mongrel on the pitch - could always make you laugh and smile off the pitch.

Just come back from the Poi E workshop in Auckland, boy it was a true pleasure was super proud to be up there singing with some of the remaining original's . Can't wait for the movie to come out
Was in NZ for 13yrs and fell in love instantly with this song. Even now that i'm back home, not even for a year, NZ will always be my country. Love the place and my family that i left behind
I can't begin to explain how awesome it is to be an immigrant living here for 22 years and one day you wake up and hear this and feel home and it warms you inside ❤️❤️❤️ I love NZ!!
this song makes me proud to be a New Zealander, it got sung neumerous times at school assemblys when back in primary school 16 years later at 21 years old still love this song never gets old.
Met Dalvanius at a gas station back in the 70s, i had run out of gas, he helped me to sort it out, i think both of us were not really good in fixing the prob, but thank you for helping
This song makes me puff out my chest! Go PMC, makes me proud to be a kiwi. Everytime I hear this, I feel like I could take on the world, great inspiration. Dalvanius Prime is a LEGEND! Nga mihi team!

As a kid I lived in Kakaramea just out of Patea. My Mother & Father had the Kakaramea Pub . " Great Memories" I new most of the people in this video as friend back then and still have fond memories of them all. Cheers to you all. Dave Clayton.
I am an Indian and i just love this song 💓! I heard it on Tik tok and it took me infinite efforts to find this out on UA-cam! I am finally here! This song is so vibrant!
@@PolarAppleCaps because if you come more people will then come i bet and then we have to cut trees down and we don't wanna look like egypt so NO we got enough people
Why do I feel like I’m watching this on a school break in 1983 while laying on the couch with my cousins while this just comes up with all our blankets on the floor just laying down
Love this song, the first time I heard it was earlier this month. I'm in the US west coast and it reminds me of songs in Hawaii. Beautiful people, beautiful music. And yes, I'm another person who wants to visit NZ!
Discovered this song a few weeks ago on RAGE one Saturday morning, Love it, love the culture, found it inspirational and now play it regularly as a motivational song to start the day. In a few years time I hope to spend some time discovering NZ, having been there twice years ago for a short work assignment.
After 2 weeks of demonstrations following the horrific murder of George Floyd on the street of Minneapolis, I come and listen to Poi E to sooth my broken heart. Thank you to my beautiful cousins of New Zealand for your Love and Compassion. Thank you for showing the way.
Indian here. Visited NZ on a 20 day vacation and just fell in love with it. Amazing nature, friendly people and the most chilled out nation I have ever been to. I was just a tourist there and I am sure Aotearoa will have its share of problems. But I am sure that its one of the best countries to live in. Just waiting to visit NZ visit again, do more hikies, drink more wine, eat more Mince Cheese pie and fish and chips.
this song brings back fond memories to me as an old seaman going to nz quite a lot i miss the friends i made in the land of the long white cloud i wish i could go back steve
This song gives me a lot of strength to overcome any difficult situation , this world put me through. I believe, it is blessed my spiritually clean Maori ancestors that is why, I am proud of our New Zealand spiritually clean Maori spirituality. I love to show this to my son in future. I wish he takes interest in spiritually clean Maori spirituality if he is guided to.
What about the MORIORIES ?????clean heritage are you sure????Check your facts....their were peaceful people here first who got eaten by YOUR ANCESTORS....
This was done in my husband Errol Elliott home place in New Zealand. He was born in Waitara Taranaki New Zealand. One of our favourite songs and places in New Zealand ❤❤ I have this song as my ringtone on my phone ❤❤
Shoutout to Kai Kara-France for introducing the states to this beautiful song. This my second comment on this video but this video makes me cry. Such a beautiful song. Shoutout to the many natives of New Zealand. To me, I just think of it as a very white country but forget about the people there before. Before conquests and such. Te poi patua taku poi patua Kia rite pa para patua taku poi e!!!! POI E!

2020 and this song still rocks. Classic indeed. I remember growing up with this song. How times flies... Loloma from Fiji.
Just come back from the Poi E workshop in Auckland, boy it was a true pleasure was super proud to be up there singing with some of the remaining original's . Can't wait for the movie to come out
Oi yeah! So excited, I lived in Opunake so every time we went to Wellington we went through Patea and blasted this song. Everyone loved it. 😂😂
The Movie is amazing!
Oh cool! Can't wait to see it!
As a kiwi this song and another called te taukaea live in my memory and will forever
I sing these songs in the choir. Ancylla wijkstra from new Zealand. Dunedin
Was in NZ for 13yrs and fell in love instantly with this song. Even now that i'm back home, not even for a year, NZ will always be my country. Love the place and my family that i left behind
I can't begin to explain how awesome it is to be an immigrant living here for 22 years and one day you wake up and hear this and feel home and it warms you inside ❤️❤️❤️ I love NZ!!

Met Dalvanius at a gas station back in the 70s, i had run out of gas, he helped me to sort it out, i think both of us were not really good in fixing the prob, but thank you for helping
This song makes me so happy. But sad because I'm not from New Zealand.
We welcome you with wide arms!
Chur cuz get a plane ticket
Hey man, you get an honorary citizenship from me just by knowing this song exists.
@@noahedwards3647 God if that isn't a typical Kiwi, I don't know what is.
I'm surprised anyone overseas knows this song! How'd you find it?
This song makes me puff out my chest! Go PMC, makes me proud to be a kiwi. Everytime I hear this, I feel like I could take on the world, great inspiration. Dalvanius Prime is a LEGEND! Nga mihi team!
I could not agree more
I have this song as my ring tone on my phone. Everyone that has heard my phone ring loves it as much as I do.
Kia Ora, I am from Nepal, i am learning Te reo Maori. I love this and Prince Tui Teka’s songs.
I am blessed to have found this. Makes me happy seeing people happy. It fills my heart. Love from the Philippines
These boys haven't been seen or heard from for a long time don't if they are still together. Tau and Willy are brothers.

From an Anglo Kiwi.
Both the Pakeha and Maori are essential to our culture.
Lmao anglo kiwi. I like that

As a kid I lived in Kakaramea just out of Patea. My Mother & Father had the Kakaramea Pub . " Great Memories" I new most of the people in this video as friend back then and still have fond memories of them all. Cheers to you all. Dave Clayton.
As a Samoan breed in NZ moved to Australia songs like these make me miss home
Been in the uk 11+years now and this song makes me feel so nostalgic and brings back so many memories
i reckon most kids know this better than our MAIN national anthem bro simply the best
I love this song. Also relieved not to see many racist comments.
It's only a matter of time. Enjoy it while it lasts :-/
So proud of my culture.
Most of us kiwis get along, but there might be some trolls in the comments lol
Mariana im a Marino too 😂

I am an Indian and i just love this song 💓! I heard it on Tik tok and it took me infinite efforts to find this out on UA-cam!
I am finally here! This song is so vibrant!
Yo cuz

A classic - just been reading it's 40 years ago since it hit the charts. Just fantastic.

Are you in prison?
Or do you steal things?
I want to go to NZ so badly! From Canada
NO stay in canada -______-
@@zswitchyt2737 After COVID for sure. Why else wouldn't you want me there?
@@PolarAppleCaps because if you come more people will then come i bet and then we have to cut trees down and we don't wanna look like egypt so NO we got enough people
and it ain't as safe as you think it is here piece of advice
@@zswitchyt2737 come and visit, you're very welcome. kiwis and canadians have a lot in common.
Why do I feel like I’m watching this on a school break in 1983 while laying on the couch with my cousins while this just comes up with all our blankets on the floor just laying down
Love this song, the first time I heard it was earlier this month. I'm in the US west coast and it reminds me of songs in Hawaii. Beautiful people, beautiful music. And yes, I'm another person who wants to visit NZ!
Discovered this song a few weeks ago on RAGE one Saturday morning, Love it, love the culture, found it inspirational and now play it regularly as a motivational song to start the day. In a few years time I hope to spend some time discovering NZ, having been there twice years ago for a short work assignment.
After 2 weeks of demonstrations following the horrific murder of George Floyd on the street of Minneapolis, I come and listen to Poi E to sooth my broken heart. Thank you to my beautiful cousins of New Zealand for your Love and Compassion. Thank you for showing the way.
Great another nutcase
too bad goerge floyd got murdered but is that happens to an asian man like me nothing will happen .......so sad
Stfu
Murdered by cardiopulmonary arrest
I can’t stop singing this song. Big Love to my Cousins in NZ from Puget Sound. Hanging out at home forever🌺🌺This song brings joy and togetherness 🖤☮️
My children have Maori Heritage & I encourage them to be proud of tbat😊
makes me sad... reminds me of when I was a kid, and of a nz I will never see again :(
I am a South Africa that came here 15y ago and love this song since the fist time I heard it.
Indian here. Visited NZ on a 20 day vacation and just fell in love with it. Amazing nature, friendly people and the most chilled out nation I have ever been to.
I was just a tourist there and I am sure Aotearoa will have its share of problems. But I am sure that its one of the best countries to live in.
Just waiting to visit NZ visit again, do more hikies, drink more wine, eat more Mince Cheese pie and fish and chips.
It will be cool to see you come back again.
I also like the mince and cheese pies😊
Great to know how love nz so much! feel free to come back anytime you want!
and yes, The mince and cheese pies are my life.
@@osi682z4 nooo🙂
@@osi682z4 what a dick thing to say
It has the fragrance of humanity...
Such a lovely full of life song....
Lots of love from India.. 😇💜💜
Namaste.. 🙏🏻👍🏻
That’s the OG Shogun dancing on the top 🤣
With his Michael Jackson moves
Was lucky enough to spend over a year in aotearoa and can say it is the most beautiful country with the greatest human beings in the world
This is the Aotearoa Theme song. Blessed to be Maori in the 2st century.
this song brings back fond memories to me as an old seaman going to nz quite a lot i miss the friends i made in the land of the long white cloud i wish i could go back steve
So come on back Stephen :-) x
We were all so happy to see this gorgeous song and performance.
This song gives me a lot of strength to overcome any difficult situation , this world put me through. I believe, it is blessed my spiritually clean Maori ancestors that is why, I am proud of our New Zealand spiritually clean Maori spirituality. I love to show this to my son in future. I wish he takes interest in spiritually clean Maori spirituality if he is guided to.
What about the MORIORIES ?????clean heritage are you sure????Check your facts....their were peaceful people here first who got eaten by YOUR ANCESTORS....
Highlight of my life has got to be playing this song at full volume as I drove through Patea, a surreal experience!
Simply the BEST
I. a native american living here and I love this
New Zealand: Where everyone is your cousin and the finest cusine is fish and chips.
This has got to be the best description of NZ I've ever read
To right,
G we might all be related
Damn right
Sagacious Gaming chhhuuuuur
The riffs the solos the lyrics the drums. Everything is perfect on this song love it.
Car speakers take a hammering when this is played on the radio oldie but a dam good song
This was done in my husband Errol Elliott home place in New Zealand. He was born in Waitara Taranaki New Zealand. One of our favourite songs and places in New Zealand ❤❤ I have this song as my ringtone on my phone ❤❤
Shoutout to Kai Kara-France for introducing the states to this beautiful song. This my second comment on this video but this video makes me cry. Such a beautiful song. Shoutout to the many natives of New Zealand. To me, I just think of it as a very white country but forget about the people there before. Before conquests and such.
Te poi patua taku poi patua
Kia rite pa para patua taku poi e!!!! POI E!
Very uplifting song.
awsome clip
MUCH love N.Z
