Hello from Philadelphia Pennsylvania, I've been and will continue to watch the "Stunning Roopu from the South island" video on KZbin. I fell in love with your music. Keep up the good work!

[@smirnadeoleo4708]

Definitely born on wrong continent....I watch this at least 6/7x’s a month and it gives me life!🎶❤️🇳🇿🙏🏾

[@erinwilson9032]

I first saw this performance on Facebook about a month ago. I remember watching it and getting chills. I'm not even ashamed to say this made me tear up. I don't understand the language, but I felt this song and knew it carried some kind of sweet sentiment. They sound so beautiful!

[@moemm804]

Wow!! so beautiful that bro and his powerful vocal blend beautifully with her voice & together with the group for me as a Samoan i love all the Maori Waiata Wow bravo.

[@lunamarie2839]

This is so beautiful. I have such a fascination with maori, and samoan cultures I just cant explain it. Someday I will live in New Zealand or samoa. I need to learn everything

[@rikleed-k7503]

[@theinc8288]

New Zealand would be ur best choice. There's heaps of Samoans here lol

Beautiful! Is there a way to have lyrics to this?

[@okbutjikook]

Usually for Maori songs and performances you either know the language or not, there’s hardly ever any translations. 😅😅

[@eaqua56]

@@okbutjikook Not necessarily looking for translation. Just the lyrics.

[@okbutjikook]

eno c aquaowo yeah I’d say it’s the same thing with lyrics too. I’m not sure with this song but a lot of Maori songs that are performed are made by the people themselves rather than popular singers.

[@SpicyT257]

@@okbutjikook Can confirm that; this one was written by the guitarist and some of his friends and family
