Wonderful song and brings back emotional memories for me and my family. As we left Wellington harbour in 1967 for a 6 week voyage to England, family and friends of all those on board sang this song. Still brings a lump to my throat!!
@adriann1989 Thanks man. I am in Edinburgh, and there are a lot of Poles here. Great people! Very humble and modest - just like Kiwis, I guess - intelligent also (don't know if that applies to is). :)
France pulled out of nowhere one of their trademark performances, and New Zealand got their most deserved win. Couldnt have hoped for a more entertaining game.
I love Hayley, and u just cant't talk when she sings - come again who ever u a when she sings...

Yes, well done Tom McGurk and the crew at RTE for allowing this lovely performance to add to the occasion.

What a beautifully natural soprano voice,
This song really belongs to the people of New Zealand and Hayley made them proud on this occasion.
Even if the song derived from a Swiss Cradle Song
it has become synonymous with the people of New Zealand
No pretentious vocal gymnastics to take it away from the ordinary good people of New Zealand - Thank You Hayley -
You did your country proud.
You are a great ambassador for your country.

Not only did ITV cut to an advert during this, they did the same to the French captain when he was being interviewed.

Well done RTE for not interrupting the occasion, unlike the ill-mannered constant interruptions for adverts on ITV in the UK.
