I cried at this. Look at how beautiful our pacific people are when we come together as one no matter what you are...polynesian melanesian or micronesian . I could see the fijian flag and that in the crowd too
I am Pakeha and remember singing this at Primary School, I am now 54 and still knew this by heart and was singing along with the crowd. So proud to be a Kiwi where we are raised to embrace the Maori culture and respect those whose land we are on. Tu hei kotahi
Part of the reason why all Kiwis embrace Maori culture is because beautiful waiata like this are sung by all Kiwis in school assembly from as early as 5yrs old.
I hope people truly understand just how fantastic this video is. I truly love this video. Such pride in these folks. We can’t even get Canadians to sing the entire national anthem correctly in the right key at a NHL game and these thousands nail this. Very moving.
@@ufakefe4480 and they singing in their own pitches that go well w the others around them, what do you call that? 💀 lmfaooo & what does my school have to do w anything?
This is how we do it!! (I never knew this is a Maori song every Samoan in the world knows this song because of Fiji)Peace and love to all my Polynesian brothers and sisters from Seattle Washington USA🤙🤙🤙
I remember working the bar and we closed the bars down to listen to this moment was very special the harmonies were so on love my country and our people
Man I wish we could turn back time .I was smack bang in the middle by the white sound tent . And dammmmmmmme. Wat a feeling too be MAORI . THE MIX OF PEOPLE AROUND ME,SINGING OUR MAORI WAIATA . JUST BLEW ME AWAY . YES THE VOCALS WERE ON POINT . WISH TOO SING THAT AGAIN LIKE THAT YEAR . THANK YOU UNCLE FIJI, OUR PEOPLE WERE ONE .MEMORIE THAT I WILL NEVER FORGET
Yasss!!! Love my maori culture and country. "ONE LOVE LITERALLY!" Some countries out there need to learn what unity is, come to Nz and we will show you!
@@dfgnhdfdfbndsfb you never know, her parents could be Maori, or one of them might be, just because she has a white name doesn't mean she's not Maori, lot of Maoris have white names.
MaKes my heart so happy, argh💜 was at a gig in Taupo and nobody were dancing, we got the crowd up and all of a sudden they sang this song, the whole bar erupted into song, my poor German mate didn't know what was happening hahahaha. 🤣
This Maori song is beautifu.! I remember singing this back in Arorangi school. This was our Assembly Song. The voice you here is the exact same voices in our school Hall🇨🇰. I miss this, Memories Man! Ik many can relate if they have been to my school lol Kia orana kia koe😂💚
The arrangement of the verses varies. E pāpā Waiari Taku nei mahi Taku nei mahi He tuku roimata. E aue, ka mate au E hine hoki mai rā. Māku e kaute Ō hikoitanga Māku e kaute Ō hikoitanga E aue, ka mate au E hine hoki mai rā. O Uncle Waiari All I've been doing All I've been doing is shedding tears Alas, I will die Darling return to me. I will count your footsteps I will count your footsteps Alas, I will die Darling return to me.
Your mind may not know the words but your heart can differently feel the love being expressed in the singing,. Aroha nui,friend. Paulie,Christchurch New Zealand.
And that's how it's done when Fiji visits Aotearoa... MAURI ORA!! Oh, and it's a shame some of the comments in this thread, have carried on this long, on such a powerful, and humble video. ✌️
South africa have won the rugby world cup 2023 they say one nation stands ...this song shows aoteroa and the pacific realms shows one pacific nations all other racees comes togther hard churr bula mean maori mean
Really beautiful 😍,not too be rude but I’ve seen a lot of comments on where the song originated from?….. please let me know because I’m Maori and I thought it was a Maori song when others say otherwise???🤔 I actually know it’s a Maori song but want to hear what others have to say??? I know it’s not a FIJIAN song anyway!🤦🏼♂️
It's Maori. Fiji just did a cover of it. But it was covered first (I think) by a band called the Herbs which was a New Zealand Maori band. Look them up if u haven't heard them before. But this is 100% Maori
Fiji is the artist and he's from Fiji originally but lives in Hawaii and Las Vegas ... Fiji sings fijian, Pacific Island reggae, covers samoan, Tongan, Hawaiian songs and also featured E papa ( this Maori chant ) in one of his albums.
Who cares where it’s from... I am Maori, 64 years, I remember singing this in church when I was young. My father was the preacher man so most of my memories as a child were of our time at Church. I have being singing this song for @ 60 years. When we sang it was from the ‘heart’. So lets just say it comes from the Heart and Soul of All Pacific People. Arohanui tangata Pacifica...
I cried at this. Look at how beautiful our pacific people are when we come together as one no matter what you are...polynesian melanesian or micronesian . I could see the fijian flag and that in the crowd too
you could say that its one love🤣🤣🤣 oh and I cried too...

Unlike Australia where whites don't embrace Aboriginal culture.
New Zealand still has racism.
@@tommyoliver6311 Is that you Tommy? Are you racist?
No I'm not. But New Zealand still has racism.
@@tommyoliver6311 Why do you feel the need to share that Tommy? Are you upset about something? Are you a New Zealander?

Not only harmonies but listen to the power. You can't teach this type of singing to a crowd this big it is all natural.
Only crowd i seen harmonize on point 😭💘
Mara there is no harmonise? You stoned or something
Ufa kefe doxc you go no damn ears thats why you cant hear the harmonies
@@ufakefe4480 i only just saw this but 😂😂😂 you must not hear the way crowds are in live concerts, they don't usually sound this good 🤷🏽♀️
TokeFist690 690 It’s probably because they are all singing at once, it’s not harmonising genius! What school did you attend sole
@@ufakefe4480 and they singing in their own pitches that go well w the others around them, what do you call that? 💀 lmfaooo & what does my school have to do w anything?
These are the songs we should be singing when the ABs or the Warriors are playing!!!
IKR
Now show me another crowd harmonising like this anywhere in the world there is none like this and that's on God
Bon Jovi live concert - it’s my life
The emotion that welled up hearing this waiata! Anyone else thinking that this song should be New Zealands National anthem?
It’s the crowd having harmony for me. Kiwis are unmatched
Love all my polynesian family💯 alofa atu 🇫🇯🇼🇸🇹🇴🇦🇸🇳🇿🇺🇸
This is how we do it!! (I never knew this is a Maori song every Samoan in the world knows this song because of Fiji)Peace and love to all my Polynesian brothers and sisters from Seattle Washington USA🤙🤙🤙
Kiwi Samoans know this song through school. We're all taught it in primary schools and it never gets old.
Yes, it is a Maori song.
It was a poem written by a Maori soldier to his girlfriend before he left for Europe. A long forgotten one.
This should be our national anthem
I remember working the bar and we closed the bars down to listen to this moment was very special the harmonies were so on love my country and our people
Man I wish we could turn back time .I was smack bang in the middle by the white sound tent .

The first time I’ve ever heard a crowd sound so good harmonies were good and didn’t even needa practice ♥️💯 amazing !!!!!
