Pokarekare Ana - Billy Connolly.wmv

[roseanne74]

Such a pretty tribute to Billy's New Zealand born wife Pamela Stephenson.

[saultyre]

Billy, Rosalind died. I am so sorry. She was my eldest sister

[MsSmallthings]

What I love about Billy Connelly is that he is the funniest man alive, but is capable of doing songs like this with the utmost respect they deserve. Always brings me to tears.

[YorkGod1]

Epic But too short!

[boardey]

I'm off to NZ next March again.

Love this song.

Love the country.

Great tune .

[baileyoscar12]

wish you could buy this in full length version hes so good at it

[tonypap1]

All Blacks....... surely your time has come.

I'm English and we''ve done OK lately but...SURELY the All Blacks will do the job this time????

I'd love England to do it as i'm English of course but...........i'd love to see the All Blacks kick the shit out of their demons !!!

[saultyre]

Billy Connolly, that was Beautiful. Short, as the other gut said, but Beautiful. And may I say, the picture of the we girl looking at her relative (or wahtever) that doesn't happen here Billy.. Those people have more sense in their Pinky...................... etc

[rayro999]

Billy, you gotta be jokin. Westenra every time big man!!



[kimsala76]

Where did you find this? I've looked all over for this song but can't find it anywhere to buy or download!

[littlequeenie2]

@kimsala76 It was a LOT of Googling and searching If I remember it correctly, but on what site I found it, i can´t recal at all now... :)

[tmac392]

@littlequeenie2 Thanks a lot for sharing!

[MrGhostdog7777]

@kimsala76 can download from youtube using youtube to mp3 converter- free...

[waythe43]

@kimsala76 be okey if he could get the words correct very offensive in my mind

[annybonni]

[buffyxangelll]

[ralutjohn]

@buffyxangelll

Blackpool.

[tonypap1]

Come on Christchurch. Show em how it's done.

You'll be back to full strength soon, cos that's what you are.

Love from us all.

[boardey]

Bounce back , please. Christchurch.

[tonypap1]

People of Christchurch. I cannot believe that such awfulness can happen to such a beautiful people so undeservedly.

You're a people full of heart, pride and pure strength.

You'll bounce back with the utmost pride.

[boardey]

Kiwis, All Blacks , surely the team is called New Zealand. We dont call our team by a nickname. New Zealand dont do very well in the rugby world cup, but i would love them to win the cricket one that is going on just now.

JAFA

[tonypap1]

I'd love to see the Kiwis win the World Cup.

Come on the All Blacks !!!!

[tonypap1]

New Zealand.

ALWAYS my favourite place. If we (England) can't win at rugger or cricket (which we rarely do) ..............it's GOT to be the Kiwis for me.

Love em.........dearly !!!

[boardey]

What a great song, sung by a Gent.

[trustnooneever]

I love New Zealand!!!!! Paradise on the  Earth, I am going there soon...On more yr... Love from Lithuania

5 Stars

[TomandBoo]

Even though this clip is short, I love hearing Billy sing this song. I also like Hayley Westenra's version of it from the "Pure" album.

[Theagchm]

Fantastic pictures. Dreadful version of this song, absolutely awful.

[AIRDOLPHIN93]

It's sad to hear this song at the end of the program, knowing that you'll be leaving this wonderful country behind with Billy. I love this song though.

[shahrid1987]

beatiful! i love how u can hear glaswegian when he sings maori! 

[77Melly]

Kia Ora

This version of this gorgeous song is beautiful.. Its my favourite!!

Thankyou

[iwata25]

[Bobsypuff]

Pōkarekare ana

ngā wai o Rotorua

Whiti atu koe hine

marino ana e.

E hine e

hoki mai ra.

Ka mate ahau

I te aroha e.

Ahhh how I love Billy :D

[WillieDines1]

It would loved to have heard the entire song being performed in this way, especially with how Billy sings it :)

It's easy for alot of people to forget that Billy is a damn good musician and singer in his own right as well as a top class comedian :)

If there is a full length version of this recording, I really hope you can uipload it as it :)

Thank you for uploading a beautiful piece of music, top rating every time :)

[littlequeenie2]

@WillieDines1 Hi there! I would´ve loved a longer version aswell, but I had a difficult time finding this... Don´t know if there is a longer version out there??? xx

[WillieDines1]

Hiya littlequeenie2, how are you? :)

Yeah, I understand hun, I've had a heck of a time trying to find any websites that has any details on the song length from the "Musical Tour Of New Zealand" CD, let alone trying to find a sound clip :) lol, I'll see what I can find out though :) xx

[Cassiefur]

@WillieDines1 This is the full recording - I have the album this is on. I love it though. I love the way Billy sings it too, makes me proud to be a Scot lol

[thesurfer99]

@WillieDines1

here .youtube.com/watch?v=DANPs-YjF­dk - that seems to be the entire song, not sung by The Big Yin tho :(

[tonypap1]

@WillieDines1 Agree so much. Billy's voice has some real HEART within it. Just the same as when he sang "Dreamtime".

Great stuff

[WillieDines1]

@tonypap1

Cheers Tony, I can't help notice that Billy is very much a decent singer as well as a damn good musician on both banjo and the autoharp, Pokarekare Ana, Banjoland, and Waltz Of The Waves both spring to mind :)

As great and hilarious as a comedian as Billy is, sometimes it seems to overshadow his other abilities and alot of people never really get to discover Billy's other talents, unless they are looking for it on sites like youtube :)

[burtowi]

I'm sure Rolf Harris did this song as well but I can't find it anywhere.:(

[MotoMuzz]

So beautiful, so short, but the best...........
