Pokarekare Ana

[@annagorshkova111]

Tears are coming from my eyes...I have been in NZ for more than 25 years, these Maori songs are so close to my heart...! Especially this one is one of my favorites!❤

[@wayneholdaway8082]

God bless New Zealand, we all of one blood, God's word says so, I'm a pakeha and love our buetiful Maori people, they are precious and are our heritage.

[@danielleweissmann6149]

No matter who sings this it will never beat it being done by the people who own the song ...The Maori People....love and total respect to y'all

[@xHopshotx]

Being Scottish Maori its awesome to hear the bag pipes played while singing pokarekare ana

This really weird!! I just read a book where the main character was a Scottish Maori....I thought, that is a bit far fetched, a Scottish Maori!! Yet here we are. What a small universe.

[@margotblanchette3767]

Crying through this. When Maori folk sing it's extraordinary, passionate & so moving. I have always been drawn to Maori songs, most of all their company. I love them.

[@laurapeters6647]

Wherever I am when I hear this song im home so proud to be Maori and always will be brings me to tears because my nanny and koro used to sing this to me as a baby

[@MatthewCampbell-ep2nl]

Me too cuzzy...i love this waiata🥰😁👍🏾

[@taffyupnorth]

At my late wife's funeral our Maori friends and family sang this, still brings tears to my eyes

[@scottwalker2003]

My father died, he would lived to hear this on the pipes., being scottish he loved the pipes, but he loved mouri music, perfect combination

[@warrenpoultney8215]

You got to hear it for him. He joined your Tipuna, he heard it in you. You were here to hear it for him.

❤now is 2024, still love hayley and pokarekare ana. I love chch, you songs make me homesick.

[@theflaver]

It's a love song composed around the first world war as NZ Maori soldiers trained and prepared to leave for the war I believe.

[@angelawhiting242]

We had the privilege of visiting New Zealand many years ago and we heard this song sung by a male singer! It was and still remains the most beautiful rendition of the tune we have ever heard! This is the closest to the original I have heard! ❤️

[@ianstrachan338]

I lived in NZ 1974-1981 and had many Maori friends. Visited Rotoroua many times and loved seeing concerts etc. Was back in 2018 for a visit with friends for a week but I could not really let them see what I had the pleasure of experiencing over the time I lived there in Auckland area and the friends I met.

[@miminicholson4871]

I grew up dancing Maori, but I am not one; nor have I grown up in the culture: Yet I have reflected so much as a Maori and I love the dance, music, food, etc. I absolutely love this song.

When I was travelling around NZ a couple tears ago, I went to a Maori village and there was a performance of this song and I never forgot it. I love this song.

[@PetarBozic]

Being Serbian/Kiwi I'm trying to learn how to play this on the accordion. If played well, it can actually sound quite a lot like bag pipes, and man does this song lend itself well to being played with pure passion!

[@Glitchy_Stiitchy]

Is your caption just some random thing you wanted to add, or are you trying to explain the song? Because...that is a really far stretch form the origin story and was never a religious song.

[@rawirilove977]

Politicians and just about every add uses music to underscore their message. I am indigenous Maori. the first new zealand spiritual religious Chrisitian revival took place between 1838-1842. So we are a spiritual people. if we are to say that every song that is used to support a message should spell out the ethos of message; my gosh that rules out so many songs. take a panadol..friend. be intelligent.

[@Glitchy_Stiitchy]

I never stated that the Maori people are not of faith, but thanks for insulting somebody's intelligence when YOU are the one who clearly misunderstood. I am not talking about Maori, I am talking about the song. The song is not religious, nor does it have any ties to religion besides what people want to pretend it has. That is why I asked if the caption (the words underneath the video, not the credit/subtitle you posted on the video itself before uploading) had anything to do with said video as there was no correlation, or if it was just the thoughts of a religious man.

[@rawirilove977]

the song doesn't have to be religious to be used as a message. I am a Maori leader and if I want to use one of our national waiata/songs; i can. you will get over the offense. Maori people are very spiritual. every meeting and gathering always starts with a prayer/karakia

[@Glitchy_Stiitchy]

Rawiri Love You still missed my point lol. I've gotten to the point where I give up on certain people. Good luck in life, dude 😂 I almost feel bad for your superiority complex regarding being Maori, it's pretty cringy.

[@bremCZ]

Rawiri Love Ditch your own cultures gods to adopt another cultures god? Either believe in Maori spiritualism or believe in Chriatianity. Christianity is monotheistic if you hold traiditional Maori spiritual beliefs AND believe in the teachings of the bible you instantly break the 1st commandment.

[@andyking957]

beside of the song i like quite much, a strange video: maori standing massively outnumbered against a mass of "paheka" playing scotch music? And an behind the maori main body a guy conducting and wearing a colonial british pith helme (NZ are no tropical africa). Then those maori do some kind of dance movements I cannot bring together with even newer tradtions....if so they also could have danced some viennese valtz. It is too studied, toostaged... It is leaving me with some question marks.
