[alayche02]

ae marika, tena koutou , no Kaikohe au, some of the lyrics are not clear as others. i wonder, if the lyrics were available ie. (posted with this clip, or scrolling with the video) would be good to sing this waiata myself and i suppose all those who wish to. not to get the lyrics incorrect. I was getting the classic wairua mahana as i was listening seeing you all in the marae setting in the kitchen with the whanau around, e tino pai te whanaungatanga tera. kia kaha te kaupapa waiata maori. aue

[killamirage]

1:14 looks like fry bread in that bowl in the background. Classic!

[WahineWaiata]

What I love most about this song is the 2 matua going about their mahi in the wharekai at the back! Classic Maori behaviour :) Plus the milk n stuff out ready 4 a cuppa tea after they finished recording & having a good laugh about it later!

[birdstuckinchimney]

I can't agree more about that WahineWaiata...it makes me feel at home

[Onlyhorses1]

[beethovenbix]

"Hey thanks Everyone" for 'Educating me".

I'm Happy I came across this Video - as the song is one of my favourite YouTube songs now. It's got a catchy melody that just sticks in your head and has the potential to be an International YouTube Hit if you re-record and film it in a studio setting. A beautiful NewZealand background shot with sealine/beaches and mountains etc would go well in a redone video.

Cheers and Blessings.

[birdstuckinchimney]

Hmmm....true dat.

[lilinoe07]

beautifullll :)

anyone know the guitar tabs for this song?

[hazza3]

Maori Harmony. Most beautiful of the world :).
