Damn that guy has some pipes!!! Absolutely beautiful. Maori always sing with such passion and heart , always always beautiful

[@thomlin8812]

This is beautiful, and I'm glad he's fighting to stay focused so that he can fulfill his promise to sing this song for his g-grandmother. No doubt, she loved this version and the harmonies of all her loved ones. His grandmother (beside him) is holding his hand, and encouraging him. Bless your hearts.

[@rorycoghlan6611]

I was blessed to meet the composer of this waiata dr Hohepa tamihana, humble man, I asked him why he wrote it and he talked about acknowledging our tupuna from Hawaiki, and other pasific islands, their journey and lineage.

[@taylornathan9193]

I started following Jackson after seeing this.

[@sineadsamson1230]

This brought me to tears because I had to sing with my mum Nd we had to push thru exactly how he had to x😕 he showed heaps of mana there x😕 mad respect x😕

[@Erewitisuii69]

He's absolutely beautiful makes us all proud of our language and culture his glasses are unique too

[@NOSKAJNZ]

You can feel it through his voice real comforting for the whanau.

[@daogkrid2687]

Luis Jorge Barron Cazares thanks for this!!!

[@Gawjez101]

Where do these lyrics fit in terms of the whole song? It seems like somewhere in the middle that this starts.

[@luisjorgebarroncazares9755]

The lyrics of the song begin right where the lyrics begin. This is the lyrics translated into English, the song of the video begins in "Mai i ngā tīpuna", which in English is "Descended from a line of bosses". I am a seed Scattered from Rangiātea And I can never be lost I am a seed, born of greatness *Descended from a line of chiefs I am a seed Wherever I may roam I will hold fast to my traditions My language is my cherished possession My language is the object of my affection My precious adornment My language is my strength An ornament of grace An ornament of grace Whenever I stand I am clothed by my ancestors My pride I will show That you may know who I am I am a warrior, a survivor I am a remnant Wherever I may roam I will hold fast to my traditions My language is my cherished possession My treasured Tiger Shell My precious ornament My language is my strength An ornament of grace I am a seed Scattered from Rangiātea And I can never be lost I am a seed, born of greatness Descended from a line of chiefs I am a seed.

Only some think it is weird :)

Yea I love it too.. I thought the same about it being weird because the person recording should be saying their goodbyes.... But then again people record the haka at a tangi and that's not seen as weird so each to their own I guess!😊
