  • Captivating

  • only bad bit is the guitar: cringe. otherwise ka pai!

  • This song makes me home sick

  • Thumbs up for Endless Ocean.

  • I love this song! My singing teacher wants me to sing and cant it half as well as Hayley! She has such an amazing voice!!!!

  • Brilliant! shame the aussie don't have anything like this, but then again this is class

  • this song will always have a place in my heart. this was the last song my grandfather played at my grandmothers funeral

  • I think this may be her best song...

  • This is so beautiful <3

  • YES......she is coming to Copenhagen this April.

    New Zealand can be proud of this wonderful talent....Hayley is by far the best female vocalist....she is in the same ligue as Andrea Bocelli. No doubt in my mind about that.

  • Beautiful song, fantastic voice

  • Beautiful song, fantastic voice

    .

  • beautiful song sang beautifully !

  • i first heard this song from endless ocean, and now its my favourite song :D

  • buaetiful hayley

  • Hayley just earned my respect for singing a Maori song.

  • I went to an aquarium here in nc a year or two ago, and they were celebrating something... and were sort of using the game endless ocean as a promotion to get people to come and visit. Well, they had the endless ocean soundtrack, yes all the HW songs from the game, playing as you walked through the displays, and through the underwater tunnels. Never been more relaxed then I was that day.

  • Amazing

  • a song of love, i am in love thank you Hayley!

  • I think I'm in Love...

  • class song,sung so beautiful

  • omg she sounds like a beautiful mermaid<3 i love this song <3 iloveNZ!

  • beautiful always makes me blub (pull yourself together) :-)

  • nz natives were the mori ori but the cannibal maori ate them al true look it up

  • @TheHirider That's not true actually. It was a popular theory once but was debunked decades ago. Unfortunately it persists as myth-history. Look it up.

  • The sign at 2:08 is my zodiac sign... aquarius <3

  • This girl is pure class. Saw her in Reading England at the end of the concert she came back to stage door on a freezing cold night and had a chat with the people that waited to see her. What al ovely girl.

  • Wspaniały głos ,wprost anielski.Słuchałam już kilka razy tego wykonania .Działa jak balsam dla duszy i ciała po ciężkim dniu ,gdy człowiek pada z nóg.Bardzo uspakaja i przenosi w wymiar ukojenia i relaksu.

  • Incredibly pure tone and inflection. Her ability to enounce evry syllable is truly amazing considering the era in which she has been raised. Atrue inspiration to all youth.

  • nz obviously has some of the most beautifull people and the meanest it was full pf cannibals once

  • @TheHirider hahahahahahaha

  • I remember being an 11 yr old schoolkid and me and my dad went out and bought her cd cos we both loved her voice :) Love her dress at 0.34 btw, it's gorgeous!

  • teary .. great way to calm a soul and mind in peace. . .my all time favs.. love it HW.. i believe every little star will twink in an instance, a wave of calm seas, breeze of air, sprark of the sun are awaken in every sound of your beautiful lifetime voice would sing.. xox

  • Hayley is an angel on earth, an amazing gift from God. <3

  • beautifull

  • She's indeed from heaven, an innocent and mystical angel! 

  • I'm from Korea and I love this song.

  • Haley sings like an angel. I can imagine a maiden looking out across the waters of a lake with the words flowing over the rippling water. What a lovely country & what wonderful Maori songs the maori people sing that stirs the blood of both those living & those in far off shores. We have something to be proud of . Both in Music & sports.

  • I dedicate this song and it's words to the sweet love of my life from distant shores, I hope soon you can share this land with me, and we can live together hapilly ever after. Miss you so much, I could die of my love for you. XXXX

  • the next kiri tekanua............beautiful..­...makes me so home sick :(

  • Hi,

    Incredible music. Incredible and divine interpretation, Incredible and beautiful singer. Thank You for your video.

    Grig

  • It makes me cry every time.

  • Beautiful girl with a beautiful voice . Went to see her at the Royal Concert Hall Glasgow in Dec 2010 and she was fantastic .Wished she had sung more like this rather than just Christmas Carols but thats want it was advertised as , but great to see her just the same

  • i like the english subtitles....

  • had her music playing at my grandads funeral she really does have a beautiful voice

  • we were taught this song in school, in Australia, in the '60s, but I never knew the words til today. Thankyou! I still love it, just as much as all those eons ago! I am so lucky!

  • @sightnotseen I love your attitude, particularly your last sentence. We are lucky indeed, to be so visited by beauty.

  • Totally takes me back to my days over on the fine NZ shores of Auckland back in 2001 and the Air New Zealand Ad Campaign... I will return one day for a long break :-) - Awesome, timeless and majestic music, very representative of the diversity of the Kiwi Landscape. Respect to the All Blacks this coming world cup, from a pommy - Your home will always have a place in my heart ;-)

  • magic

  • This is so beautiful. 1.41 to 2.21 is like truly having an angel transport you to another place.

  • This will be played at my grandad's funeral :) he was a new zealander to the end :)

  • My friends and I had this song sung to us by Maori people the day after the Christchurch earthquake. Can safely say there wasn't a dry eye in the room.

  • what language is this in?

  • @hotokocoon maori

  • @13ikagirl thanks but i never heard of the language before =(

  • @hotokocoon it's the language spoken by the maori, who are New Zealand's native people

  • @hotokocoon its New Zealands Native language

  • best wishes to all on HMZS Taranaki, I miss the singing Curly.

  • this voice made me cry,. Don't know why, don't know how. Don't even know the words she's singing. It conneccted and the tears flowed. I ask no more from a song. Langmay yerlumb reek, girl. A fan, that's no at the fan dan.

  • Heart breaker, soul shaker. I don't need the translation the emotion in that voice is everything.

  • Well then who is No1 Hayley has been saying she is ,of course .Katherine never comments .Miss Jenkins of course top performer many many more concerts than Westenra the world over .Britains richest young singer Hayley does not come in to it. Kj fills Arenas all over the world ,When was the last one Hw filled .

    Iadmit I find Miss Westenra to good to be true , and if you took the mike away you would never hear her.A child star who has not developed.

  • @12harby Here you are again, beating up HW. This is pretty hypocritical when you rudely tear people apart who dare to criticize KJ. You call us haters, and worse and you tell us to get off KJ's YT video sites. Then you go to HW's YT video sites and rudely criticize her. I don't care for either singer, but at least I don't go around beating up people who don't like my favorite singers.

  • @arpeggio1358 I LY. 

  • @12harby What you are saying - that if you took the mike away you would never hear her - applies to your idol KJ as well. At least unlike KJ, Hayley doesn't pretend to be an opera singer and hardly ever goes near opera arias or classical music, so it doesn't really matter if she'd be heard without a mic or not.

  • @jewelmarkess Sorry Kj has personly never said she is an opera singer .Miss Westenra certainly claims to be more than a pop singer and from what i hear miss jenkins has a strong voice wether ashe sings with a mike or not.

    The one singer who claims purity and being a paragon of virtue is H.W yet she and her team try every trick in the book to bring Miss Jenkins down ,the latest is bringing out another of compilation of kj songs on the same day thatn Kathereine brings out her new Warner cd.

  • @jewelmarkess About the mic issue I agree with u. KJ's music is like what u learn in Music schools which is very good yet so formal for today's pop craving crowd. Hayle's is more on natural, something that borders between the classic and modern style. So she has the power to hold both not-so-young and young music enthusiasts. Lezione Di Musica is the hardest song I've ever heard so far and if JK could sing that too, we'll see who's more flexible. :-D

  • this singer gives the absolute image of purity ,Yet why would she want to claim she has sold more albums than any other soprano the world over ,that is over the last 10 years . In that period she has sold 4 million copies Katherine Jenkins has sold well over 5.in 7 years .If any one remembers When the Royal British legion dropped Katherine from its Rememberance concerts Hayley said she is not the forces sweetheart I am Funnily enough Katherine will go to AFGHANISTAN .

  • Utterly stunning! <3

  • Her voice is so pure and angelic, I love it <3

  • What kind of language shes singing?

    such an angelic voice....

  • @zooiee It's maori...from New Zealand :)

  • How the hell can 17 people (at the time of writing) not like that? It's gobsmacking!

  • @chizzer They're jealous?

  • Stick to your own tastes and beliefs in music and all things. You are the original and they the followers - who knows, one day you might turn around to see them following you.

  • Ļoti skaista bals un laba dziesma

    vētraini un nemierīgi

    ir vaijapu ūdeņi

    bet ja tiem pāri dotos tu

    tie sirsniņ tūlīt norimtu

    ak meitenīt

    nāc atpakaļ pie manis tu

    lai varētu tad mirt

    es tevi mīlēdams

  • haley is the only voice to soothe my son he is six now and has to have this song played every night befor he goes to sleep he loves hayley so i would love to thank her for her angelic voice and for not to many sleepless nights with my son

  • Lolz as much as i do like this song and also have much respect for Haley Westernra, if you really want to hear a spine-tingling song, then i suggest you look up 'Te Iti Kahurangi Waiata Tira'. The song was sung with so much passion and love that you'll never get tired of it.

  • she has such a amazing voice!!

    and this song is just brilliant!!

  • i love this song :) its just so beautiful and hayley singing it is just amazing, i love her voice <3

  • What language is this ?

    This song is amazing ;33

  • @chacam07 Always glad to help ^_^

  • @chacam07 New Zealand Maori

  • what language is this?

  • @x2lazy2die māori

  • @choloangelo where is that language from =)

  • @ac1934 NEW ZEALAND :-)

  • the most amazing/beautiful song ever. love nz<3

  • it takes a mature soul to enjoy this kind of music, it always will be part of your soul, never let childness deture you...

  • good for you pharaohyuki this is so peacefull

  • thanks...for uploading this video with English subtitles...it was awesome.

  • You should listen to Scorpions "Still loving you"...it rocks.

  • Beautiful.

  • This version is different than the iTunes versions. >_> Idk where to get this version. I do not like the iTunes version(s).

  • If you love Hayley, try rising star OKSANA LEPSKA, videos available on youtube.

  • I feel sorry for children of the world who do not grow up learning this song and having it sung to them as kiwi kids are

  • The voice of an angel........

  • I Love this song..and especially this version :)

  • ''15 AUSSIES''

  • Correction iTS THEY ARE ADGITADED THE WATERS OF WAIAPU

  • What version is this? I want it for my wedding but the one on the gift to you cd is different

  • @lijsgurl This is the version from Hayley Westenra's album Pure. :)

  • This was the perfect song to listen to while playing Endless Ocean.

  • Einfach sensationell,diese Stimme.

  • @Glaceon2090 its the native language of New Zealand. Not widely spoken there now, but the native tribe spoke it. Its called Maori, pronounce Mow-ree. Hope it helps.

  • This made me cry :''(

  • Annyira gyönyörű, napjában többször meghallgatom, köszönöm !!

  • I'm 13 and Hayley Westenra is one of my favourite singers. I'm shunned at school for liking Hayley, Celtic Woman, Aled Jones, etc and not liking rap. I do like rock too, but I like Bon Jovi and Queen, who everyone at school hates. I don't care though. Those haters will NEVER know what beautiful music sounds like, because they think that classical music has to be operatic and sang by a 60 year old. They can stay in their land of Justin Beaver and Lady GaGa, while I enjoy musical bliss :)

  • @PharaohYuki Hi Rachael, you like the same music I like. Don’t care what other people think. I’m a few years older than you now, but I’ve liked all forms of music, except rap. I think that’s music for those with no talent or singing ability . So don’t you care what your friends think. All the best, David.

  • @PharaohYuki  Good on you.

  • @PharaohYuki it's true that most people dont like the older more tateful music but thats just a loss for them and not you

  • @PharaohYuki I'm completely there with you! Stay strong and go on staying confident about listening to this beautiful music! :)

  • @PharaohYuki Ah, if all the teenagers were like you... such a dream...

  • @PharaohYuki muahaha justin "beaver" was that accidental or on purpose? you go kid! metallica bon jovi acdc queen etc etc are true music artists these rappers are just pretending they can sing (we all know they can't n thats why they rap haha)

  • @BlueberryBubblegum18 He's Justin Beaver deliberately. He shall always be a beaver to me, especially since I'm taller than him and 2, maybe 3 years younger ;)

  • @PharaohYuki Dont worry too much, when you get older, people will have all the time in the world for your taste of music. Those who discriminate against you for loving the music you enjoy dont deserve your time. Keep loving beautiful music and you will be ok :)

  • @PharaohYuki I'm glad you stand up for what you love. Too many people would rather just blend in with the crowd at that age.

  • @PharaohYuki were both on your story

  • @PharaohYuki: actually I'm in love with both Hayley or Andrea Bocelli and Lady Gaga or Britney Spears ^^

  • @PharaohYuk I totally agree - i dont think you are weird, I have and always will love classical music above all others... this is true music, not like those silly people who only think they can sing!

  • @PharaohYuki , those who run with the crowd lack the strength to beat their own path and will never fulfil their potential for this reason. Stay strong, stay true to yourself and your life will be full of riches that money cant buy.

  • @PharaohYuki You go! People think I'm strange for having Westernra and Adiemus and such on my iPod and liking 70s and 80s music, but they will never know what beautiful music is. Music that just makes you feel so tranquil and happy and puts you on cloud nine.

    But you and me can know what it is :) Don't let them get you down, THIS is real music, not that market-based commercial rubbish.

  • @PharaohYuki Wooww I felt the same in my school, everybody said that is a music for women an there is a very bored music! And that is a wonderfulll music that they are losing!!

    Hugs!

  • @PharaohYuki feels so good to know the young generation can be "saved" ... heheheheh

  • @PharaohYuki I was in your situation when I was in middle/ high school. I'm in college now, and I"ve found people who like the same music & who HATE Justin Beaver & Lady GaGa. Opera can be sung by anyone. Rap isn't "real music". Hayley & Celtic Woman are way better to listen to anyway than JB, rap & Lady GaGa. Don't let the others bother you with what you should/ shouldn't listen to. :) P.S. You have good taste in music. =)

  • @PharaohYuki That is just wonderful. Keep it that way, kid, I am your fan. Enjoy yourself for being so original and having a good musical ear.

  • @PharaohYuki u fucking rule, keep the music alive and don't let anyone change your mind. p.s Queen rulz!

  • @PharaohYuki I agree, i'm 18 and since I was little I love celtic woman, andrea bocelli etc . I still love it and it's fun watching those teenagers listening to Rap and hardcore while I like to hear music like this.

    Don't care what other people think of your music style. Just enjoy the music and carry on listening to it.

    Ps: My english is not the best, i'm from the Netherlands

  • @PharaohYuki yeah i'm 15 and i have the same problem. even at an arts college it's not cool to like hayley, aled jones ect. oh well, never mind. i'm actually going to see hayley perform some time soon :D can't wait!! i admire people like you who know their own minds and don't let other peoples ignorance turn them into sheep :p good for you for standing by your opinions :)

  • @PharaohYuki Keep up the good fight against ignorance and crappy music, there are others out there with similar tastes, who needs friends who will criticize your tastes anyways? I throw my friends off by listening to Gaelic Storm and bluegrass bands Lol

  • @PharaohYuki Tell them that they are listening to NOISE.

    Angel's yearn for Hayley's voice, beauty, and kindness.

  • @PharaohYuki trust me, you're not the only person. (_ __!)

  • @PharaohYuki Well, you have a wonderful taste in music, they don't. That's their problem.

  • @PharaohYuki

    Each to there own.

  • @PharaohYuki You are the lucky one. You have taste in music. Fashion followers dont.

  • @PharaohYuki same. My favourite genre is symphonic metal, bands like Evanescence & Within Temptation. I really do love classical though ... something so true and enchanting about it. While I have my favourite artists, Hayley will always be, in my opinion, one of the most amazing female singers ever!

    I can honestly say I've never heard a more crystal clear voice that hits such high notes with perfect ease ANYWHERE!!!

  • @PharaohYuki Stay strong. My kid is 13 and she digs the Beatles most of all. She has managed to make a few of her friends see how worthless Bieber and the rest are, and come over to the greatness of the Fab Four, GnR, and some of the other older groups.

  • @socalhuskerfan nobody really cares about these crappy stories about how youngster listen to good music , does this make you proud as a parent that a child choses something above something else ? go boast and gloat somewhere else , somewhere where people who just genuinely want to listen to music don't have to read this nonsense on every video. but hey don't be a stranger and go for that top rated comment.
