    New Zealand National Anthem
    LYRICS
    E ihowa atua,
    O nga iwi matou ra
    Ata whakarangona
    Me aroha noa
    Kia hua ko te pai
    Kia tau to atawhai
    Manaakitia mai
    Aotearoa
    God of nations! At thy feet
    In the bonds of love we meet,
    Hear our voices, we entreat,
    God defend our free land.
    Guard pacific's triple star,
    From the shafts of strife and war,
    Make her praises heard afar,
    God defend new zealand.

I dunno, I personally would have sung from the beginning if I was there, but It's the Singer of Six60, so a lot of people would really like to hear how he would sing the Maori version you know what I mean?

    Ignorance fears knowledge. Knowing the national anthem in Te Reo opens the door to the light we call culture. Any indigenous culture survives on pride and in that pride, the ancestors, nga tupuna.
    Kia kaha te iwi! And THAT includes everyone who is lucky enough to call themselves KIWI.🥰
    Kia ora.
