New Zealand National Anthem ♫

[@janethestork]

British born but lived here the last 26 years - I LOVE New Zealand and am very proud of her. This video and the National Anthem always brings tears to my eyes. It is so beautiful!

[@emmahardwick3332]

I like the longer version of our national anthem. I'm proud to call New Zealand my homeland. Kiwi Pride.

[@djboydanny]

well done New Zeland, From a disappointed Irish man!!! it was a brilliant game of rugby, it just shows why ye are the champions!!!

[@agenttheater5]

I'm Australian and can I just say.... New Zealand, you're national anthem is so much better than ours!!!

[@6258833]

I am always a kiwi at heart, I have been living in Australia for three years now, but I was born and raised a true kiwi, just because u live somewhere doesn't mean u belong there, I may stand here in Sydney but my heart is buried in the land of the long white clouds, this brought tears to my eyes, and pride to my heart, may god defend new Zealand and her people.

[@angelangie4u]

OMG! I remember this from when I was a kid, they played it in between TV programmes!! Loved it then, love it now lol,

[@quiz0walkthroughs]

[@benjaminalexander8836]

most beautiful national anthem I have ever heard

[@peace-now]

Thanks, mate. Just saw the Česká filharmonie (with Jiří Bělohlávek) last night - plus Hélène Grimaud (francouzská klavíristka). Very nice!

[@ValladaoMateus]

What a beautiful anthem!

[@peace-now]

As a New Zealander, I strongly support Scottish Indpendence. New Zealand has always supported Scotland and the Scots. We are confident you will gain independence and be proud of your country like New Zealand is.

[@hazelcd1]

we may have sheep but then again we have the Kiwi, the Ponamu, the Koru and of course the beautiful Southern Alps and Mount Aoraki or Mount Cook :) I live in New Zealand and I must admit its a amazing place to be. Maori is a native language here and I must admit its beautiful. People may think sheep is the only thing you can see in New Zealand but thats not the only thing. We have the magnificent museum called Te Papa and the Auckland Sky Tower.

[@jackblack1653]

@MrSamuelW - Yes it is. All the verses are sung here. Most NZders are only familiar with the first maori/english verses.

[@melliesworld01]

wow - i love how they kept the original singers and updated the video clip. awesome! haven't seen or listened to the song in more than 15 years!

[@fatShowPony]

My ancestors were Scottish and Irish and all bar one Irish great grandparent were in NZ in the 19th century. I know NZ has a rich Scottish heritage, particularly in Otago. Dunedin is derived from the Scottish Gaelic name for Edinburgh for goodness sake. Living in Australia at the moment I realise we use Scottish language features that Aussies find a wee bit amusing. Don't worry we aren't all as ignorant as the troll having a crack. God defend Scotland too!

[@TheMightyMikey1]

aiiiiiiiiiiiittttt boiiis i

[@glasgow1234]

@IRememberTheOldDays The future of Scotland and whether we become independent and put an end to the United Kingdom is hardly a little situation. As my comment is one of the top comments, it seems the good people of NZ do care. Actually, NZ has a very large amount of people with Scottish ancestry with many towns and cities named after Scottish places. Search google for Scottish New Zealander to see our close links.

[@marc-andregeoffroy3625]

I love this song...I'm from canada and I admit you guys have a greater anthem than my contry!

[@glasgow1234]

@SammyKTA I wonder if you would be happy for New Zealand to return to British control and governance?

[@noodle860]

Good on you bro!

[@vicpur]

glasgow1234 . As an Englishman Ive always wondered why your independance didnt happen years ago. I know if I had (the good fortune) to of been born Scottish Id of been fighting for it way back. I personally wish you all the best and hope you do obtain your wish. Be not only brave, but proud!!!

[@glasgow1234]

@SammyKTA Yes, sorry, i picked you up wrong. I see what you mean is most Kiwis really don't know the difference between Scotland & England. That's not your fault. Most of the world don't either.... But they will soon. Yes, the referendum is binding. The UK Government has stated many times that if the outcome is that Scots want independence then they will negotiate with the Scottish Government and give us our independence.

[@MMusashi7]

Good Job Kiwis for qualifying for the World Cup! See you there, All Whites! -Greetings from America

[@DeanaL68]

I love my country! proud to be a kiwi! :)

[@PartijVoorDeMens]

Hi, say do know that at the end your missing the last bit of the song??? I was wondering if you still had the full version and post it, please. I know there are others who have the full version osted, but this version has the best flim going was the anthem. Pretty please with a cherry on top, would you post hte full version, cos it really is a shame the last bit of the Anthem is missing. Many thanks

[@EduardoMonteirorj]

Estive lá, pais fantastico, pessoas maravilhosas, o hino nacional é muito llindo, fiquei emocionado, parabéns Nova Zelândia, Deus a proteja.

[@NZQUEENGURL]

I live in chch. it is shaken to bits but we will survive, we are strong!

[@XxToffeeFennekinzxX]

I love living in ChCh!

[@hihihui1]

@wolfie12344 Where the bloody hell did you go? Into the bushland?

[@georgina120]

hello, can some please tell me who the lady is who is singing in this clip of NZ anthem before Dennis Marsh and how can i get the tune??? Georgiexx

[@asasinz2]

You have taken the audio from that TV One opening they had back in the late 80's early 90's and added video from 100% NZ

[@XxToffeeFennekinzxX]

i approve this!!!!! i live in New Zealand and this s cool! GOD DEFEND NEW ZEALAND AND ITS PEOPLE!!! and 2 other countrys

[@jackyleunght2002]

is this the updated version and official copy of our national anthem???

[@glasgow1234]

So the people that seeked freedom for New Zealand also held ' extreme views '? With Independence, we will also still have the Queen as head of state as you do. And you might need to catch up on the news a little bit. Since i posted that comment 9 months ago, a referendum has been confirmed to be held in autumn 2014 and the yes campaign has just begun. Civil War in UK ? Are you serious ???

[@agenda88s8]

@MrSamuelW umm yes it is. Im not a kiwi but i have been to nz ebough times and watched enough rugby to know that this is your anthem!

[@glasgow1234]

Dear people of New Zealand In the next 4 years the people of Scotland will vote in a referendum to decide if they want to be an independent country, free from the United Kingdom. Please show your support for my countries INDEPENDENCE by giving this comment a thumbs up. Thank You From SCOTLAND. Long May Scotland & New Zealand Prosper ! P.S. You may even get a new flag if we become independent as the Union Jack will no longer be a recognised Flag.

[@TigersBloodWinning]

[@Slywolf1992]

beautiful song

[@nzkiwigirl13]

Just because Australia is bigger doesn't mean it's better, if that were the case Russia would have squashed us all under their iron boots. I love new Zealand, what a great country, I love it that we are all just one big tribe helping each other and staying strong. May god ever defend new Zealand

[@benjaminalexander8836]

I love New Zealand

[@peace-now]

Thanks, John for the info. :)

[@airliecoops]

watching that is only slightly more significant than the outcome of the longreach ladies lawn bowl score this weekend LOL!!! I thought their national anthem was "i still call australia home"

[@Denzillar]

tenopai! Thats great!

[@aether222]

it really is totally freaking wrong to have the end cut off like that

[@peace-now]

So do you think that the Commonwealth would be stronger if it simply become the United Kingdon, and was ruled from London as one country, with one anthem?

[@glasgow1234]

I couldn't care less how many MPs we elect to Westminster. It makes no difference. In this union the dominant power is England and it always will be. Scotland doesn't have a voice of it's own. in Europe and the world the tories at present speak on behalf of us and they everything that Scotland is not. And this isn't about nationality. Just because GB and AD were Scots doesn't mean Scotland was being represented ! I and many people will be voting YES in 2014 and yes i will wave my flag with pride

[@glasgow1234]

I don't want independence out of romanticism. I want independence because it's only natural and right for a nation's people to govern themselves. Scotland will be better off financially with independence.. our people have long been ignored in this so called "united" kingdom and we are sick to the back teeth of it. We want independence for all practical reasons and not to wave a flag or sing an anthem.

[@XxToffeeFennekinzxX]

oi! my dad's from london!

[@glasgow1234]

@SammyKTA I'm trying to make you understand where i and many more Scots are coming from. We don't want to be ruled from another country, by another country.... It's as simple as that! So Kiwis will have no choice but to recognise Scotland as seperate from the UK. We want what you have......

[@Jedd954]

Great

[@wolfie12344]

@CPPolice9 To be very honest my mates were telling me about the sheep in new Zealand before i took off and guess what....?? I saw NO sheep. Its obviously that people over exaggerate especially the Australians... I wonder why??

[@AyeGee721]

I was meaning for NZ. I love the UK and it seems kinda sad Scotland would want Independence, but thats in my eyes, I know there are two sides to every story. Beautiful place though. A lot here aren't really into republican ideas. Plus NZ looking after other Pacific Island countries under our Independence, including our own disasters like Christchurch Earthquakes, we always needed the extra support. ^^;;

@ABookwormAndProud i was in that earth quake

[@JepJep92]

@MatthewJohn74 uhhh puerto rico can't have a "national" anthem seen as it's not a country? I'm Australian, and i think that the Kiwi anthem is better than ours!

[@HighlyUnimaginative]

Never wanted to leave NZ, alas back in England , time to save the pennies and return!

[@glasgow1234]

@SammyKTA Well if Scotland does become independent they will just need to.

[@glasgow1234]

Two years is a long long time in politics and when it comes right down to the day... i firmly believe the people of Scotland will vote to have their independence back in their hands! Yes there are people who at the moment say they are voting no and from what i hear from them it's because they believe the unionist propaganda that we are too small, too poor and too weak to be independent. The arguements will be won by the yes campaign and Scotland will be independent once again :D

[@glasgow1234]

@SammyKTA If Scotland became independent then those New Zealanders would need to have pride for the country of their ancestors - Scotland or England.... not Britain.

[@gongaxonga]

Independence and freedom for Scotland and the rest of countries subjugated under Imperialism countries like Catalonia & Vasque Country in Spain, Quebec in Canada, etc etc Freedom!!!

[@glasgow1234]

@IRememberTheOldDays Oh aye, that's what i've done. I've commented and then invited 5 of my best friends to give it a thumbs up. Get a grip ! No, there isn't the "occasional" Scottish link! New Zealand is the 7th largest country with the highest population of Scots and people of Scottish ancestry. As i said, do a wee search on google for - Scottish New Zealander and you will see our close links and shared traditions! And of course NZ has links with other countries!

[@XxToffeeFennekinzxX]

ps. I live in nz,my dad's nice he loves nz

[@turnip8er]

It would be nice if we English could have a vote on scottish independence because that way you would certainly get it. The majority of us English would love to be independent of you.

[@Hurathsingh]

Good

[@StoneColdAxe]

How is it a pity? We're all stronger as one.

[@XxToffeeFennekinzxX]

may god defend NZ and other places :)

[@johnkirkfieldbank]

i think scotland can be like new zealand and the anthem is the best of all

[@glasgow1234]

@SammyKTA Going to happen or not, i asked you if you would be happy for your country to be ruled once again by the British?

[@johnkirkfieldbank]

till we an anthem for scotland

[@IRememberTheOldDays]

@glasgow1234 you have 5 likes on a video of around 80,000 views; that goes no way to show widespread support for independence. And Ill wager they're probably scottish individuals who happened to watch this video, like yourself. (or who you invited? its a possibility). Oh I dont doubt there's the occasional scottish link but its not exclusively Scottish, not at all. Remind me who's flag is in the corner of theirs and whos commonwealth they're part of?

[@JepJep92]

@VocalLeopards lol it's spelt whaka xD i'm australian and i even know that

[@StoneColdAxe]

I'm a Kiwi actually. Whilst I'm Scottish by heritage I certainly wouldn't support a Scottish split.

[@indianaeb]

@HomerJr007 This is from 1993 or moor !!!!!!!

I'm talking about the Commonwealth genius.

@demonicx7 um... Lol? I'm from America, and I've been to NZ and AU... I found NZ so much better considering theres no nasty poisonousness snakes to bite you and its so much easyier getting around in nz, and dont get me started on their water! OMG! Well thats just my opinion...

[@StoneColdAxe]

Why do you say "we" as if you're speaking for all Kiwis?

[@johnkirkfieldbank]

mark i'm not a feared of scotland being independent and would happily pay more tax to fund it and i only earn 15'000

[@peace-now]

Scotland would still be in the Commonwealth. It would be free of the Union and London, just as New Zealand is.

[@StoneColdAxe]

Oh for goodness sake. This argument is lost. Keep up with it mate.

[@StoneColdAxe]

I understand that but the union would be significantly weakened thus weakening our commonwealth.

[@IRememberTheOldDays]

@glasgow1234 to be quite honest, I wouldnt be surprised. Or at least they're all actually Scottish, doubtless anyone else; because quite simply, its not really an important international incident, it really isnt. Ok, supposing that statistic about NZ is true - the entire population of NZ is what 4.4 million? You're using the same method of ignorant narrow minded statistics that newspapers use. I think you'll find, without much effort at all, British ties are far stronger and more numerous.

[@glasgow1234]

Scotland would not become a republic. It would retain OUR monarchy with independence and be part of the commonwealth exactly how NZ is at the present moment. We would be equal with your own country and every other. And you have to think realistically here and not delve into romanticism about the UK. Imagine for one minute living in NZ with no parliament and all decisions being made in London by people who pretty much ignore you.. Would you support independence for NZ?

[@XxToffeeFennekinzxX]

oh and I live in ChCHh nz

@wolfie12344 lol, i've lived in Australia for 18 years, and i have never seen a snake in my life? xD but yes, i do like New Zealand better than Australia!
