I’m Australia and I seriously love the New Zealand anthem especially when he says god of Nations and how you sing in both language that’s what Australia needs to do and you can see how prouds you are and have so much respect for everyone god definitely loves New Zealand
@Brett Mitchell New Zealand sings the National Anthem in Māori and then English! Australia should do the same by translating the Aussie Anthem in Aboriginal! Do you get it now!!
@@gracielanes2644 the problem being the Indigenous have like 100 different dialect probably more its not like Maori where ours is similar enough to understand
@@toebangah7705 As beautiful as it maybe thats still a racist ass song written by Pakeha for Pakeha. The lyrics for we are young and free the indigenous been here for 50 thousand years their actually the oldest culture on this planet and weren't recognised as human until the late 60s before that they were classed as flora and fauna.
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.
This is the best rendition of our anthem before a game to date. Especially without the music and the crowd just singing along in the background. Matiu needs to do this more often, if not all the time
Wonderful, wonderful version Matiu - you have an awesome voice young man & to sing our Anthem at the BIG game did justice to the atmosphere where the crowd sang with you really loud this time was beautiful Thank you.
Yep, most of the time this and the haka are the last things you hear before you get your butt kicked! The All Blacks are the worlds team - they represent everything that is good about their sport, sport in general, their country, and the human condition. An unparalleled record of excellence.
I'm American (live in Los Angeles) and sing entire anthem. Why do the fans not sing the Maori portion, if they're from New Zealand? Am I the only one that thinks it's strange? It's the most beautiful Anthem ever. I see this often in videos and matches I've watched. Off topic, please bring back Nick Afoa. ☺️
I like too much of watch Rugby matches of newzealand and southafrica....and guys, by seeing that matches, i learned both nation's national anthem.and now I can sing both of that anthem very confidentially even i'm not a native of any of both countries...
I suppose that's how most would see it, and I kinda feel that way, but at the same time, when someone is singing the Maori version on a stage like this, I kinda... want to hear how they sing the Maori Version tbh... 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.
Love this version…..theres been so many - another fav version of mine is by the group Temperatures Rising - 1993 - They did both anthems for the Maoris and the ABS against the Lions Tour - back than they didnt incorporate the Maori version into the anthem yet - ahh well nemind - another funny story behind their Version…….They were told by the NZRU to not do the anthem in harmony - but luckily people like Murray Mexted and co……decided against their ruling and told the boys to just do it lol.……..as it turned out they smashed it lol
ANZAC Day in Nhulunbuy, NT Australia, we sing both Australian and New Zealand national anthems. The Kiwi Connection sing in Maori and us Aussies join in with the English verse. We don’t want to spoil the Maori verse with mispronunciations.

I'm a proud Kenyan when I win but a stupid wretched shit when I loose I'm extremely sorry 😐😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔 that's the bitter truth by Steve Irungu Jermaine
LOL. in your dreams. nz was settled by Christians. organised by the church of england and church of scotland. more likely, the maori words need to go so ppl understand the song.
I pray to God that I want to travel to NewZealand to buy property ie Christchurch and to buy a 🏏🏏🏏🏏🏏🏏🏏🏏🏏 cricket kit so help me God in Jesus name Amen 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 by Steve Irungu Jermaine
Bring back Matiu Walters every time I say!
Nah
@Heir apparent get one of the chicks years ago to come back
Hardout brutha all day everyday lol
@Heir apparent yah, just a little. He should keep it smooth.
@@bradley8819 nah, Harley's a beautiful singer, but I don't like it when people use too much vibrato lmao
I've never heard our anthem sound so beautiful
Love Matiu 💯 but listen to Maisey Rika version 👌

I'm disappointed to hear the crowd only really joining in when the english verse starts. Still my favorite national anthem though!
I always sing the whole thing, a lot of people wernt taught it as a kid like people are nowadays
I'm disappointed we all gotta die one day but ain't life a bitch.........lol
I'm not Maori, but I am grateful that I know both the Maori and English parts because they taught us in the primary back in the day.
Nothing disappointing about that, if people dont back their pronunciation in Te Reo it's all good.
It ain't maori language week..
I'm not a Kiwi but even I got goosebumps hearing this!
Makes me wish I were on the islands 😢
@@secularsekai8910 This is my wish during every waking second 🥲
Same dude. I listen to it occasionally. The players being so still and engaged gets me everytime. I miss the quality of our people.
This is the best rendition of our anthem before a game to date. Especially without the music and the crowd just singing along in the background. Matiu needs to do this more often, if not all the time
Great choice to sing the anthem.
Wonderful, wonderful version Matiu - you have an awesome voice young man & to sing our Anthem at the BIG game did justice to the atmosphere where the crowd sang with you really loud this time was beautiful Thank you.
Have him and Nick Afoa do the anthem more often
God not Nick 🤦♂️ rather a 5 year old aspiring artist (most 5 year olds)
@@Tee.NZ.07 not nick? do you even watch nz rugby
@@Tee.NZ.07 not Nick? Bruh, that guy was all goods, tf you on about?
Nick is one of the best.
@@Tee.NZ.07 Nick did it best.
You now it gives you goosebumps when the entire stadium sings along. And then comes the haka, best start of a test match I've seen in years.
Yep, most of the time this and the haka are the last things you hear before you get your butt kicked! The All Blacks are the worlds team - they represent everything that is good about their sport, sport in general, their country, and the human condition. An unparalleled record of excellence.
As an Aussie with a bit of Maori blood in me, this brought a tear to my eye, and the loss more bearable
I am Kiwi and Aussie to
Ohhh, how I love this anthem! Great job Matiu! You are really good singer. Peace and love from the Czech Republic!
I miss my home a little more everytime I hear our anthem
Truly my favorite version. I come back when I want inspiration and a jolt to motivate me to keep working hard.
Mathiu’s voice…one of NZ finest!
Great rendition!!
Love my rellies in NZ. God bless all of you.
I love the New Zealand Anthem ❤ Very beautiful 👍 Love and respect from Portugal ❤👍🇵🇹🙏

Sianne Dougherty is due for her time to sing the anthem for the ABs..or Hollie Smith
Best national anthem
Chills
Ataahua... so proud of NZ Aotearoa
Go go go bro and we won !!!
Stan Walker sings it awesome accapella too 💯
Da brividi! 👏👏👏
Can the man go on tour with the ab’s please 👌
Should be no music at every game. With a little more passion with both Te Reo and English from the fans. Be proud of who we are.
I'm disappointed... They literally waited for the English part 😭😭😭😭😭
I suppose that's how most would see it, and I kinda feel that way, but at the same time, when someone is singing the Maori version on a stage like this, I kinda... want to hear how they sing the Maori Version tbh...

Matiu did so well at that I always sing the Te reo maori bits
I heard them singing both parts
Aatahua loved it and im proud to be a kiwi kiaora

Congratulations for your national holiday on 6th February New Zealand from your friends in Germany
ayye kia ora bro, cant wait to come to germany, your culture and history is so interesting

I am Indian but I don't know why I like your anthem.
The best!

If you are going to introduce someone at least take the time to learn to pronounce their name properly ! ... loved your singing as always Matiu ❤
Matiu 🔥
GOOD BLESS AND THANK U FROM THE BOTTOM OF ME MIGHTY BULLDOGG RED HEART
Wish everyone knew the Maori version off by heart. Everything sounds so much better in Te Reo tbh.
Wow, did you hear the harmony someone in the crowd threw in there! 1.42 Tumeke!

I love the national anthem sung in Maori . I prefer it to the English version
1 People ,1 Nation under the 1Jersey
The anglo saxons nz must respect the part maori ! They give them the haka and great players !
@Heir apparent i dont talk about game but about the respect of maori tradition.
Must 🤣🤣
@Heir apparent maori gave you also great players...stupid boy.
Can please sing the national hanthem without instrument EVER!!
the most sympathetic thing about the anthem, besides it being bilangual, is that at 0:22 it sounds like "f**k Corona" and I like that
1:00 que the Pakeha 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤦🏽♂️
