Dame Kiri Te Kanawa Now Is The Hour

[veeerooniicaaa]

Beautiful

[StarWarsSomething]

Did she muck up the words?

[eagleaerie5]

Of course Kiri Te Kanawa delivers Po Atarau really good as she, herself, is partly Maori. The song goes like this:

Po atarau

E moea iho nei

E haere ana

Koe ki pamamao

Haere ra

Ka hoki mai ano

Ki ite tau

E tangi atu nei.

Amazing. What a national treasure for New Zealand.

[Ryanturna]

Queen Elizabeth holds back the tears

[susanbaileycatholic]

Wow, brings a tear to my eye. What a gift!

[maozie1]

has anyone got the video of the opening that includes the story of rangi and papa that was soooooooo awesome

[hastiehel]

Kiri singing Po Atarau made the pommie head of state look like a stunned mullet. She showed who was the real queen of New Zealand

[damekirilover]

Kiri is really the QUEEN!!!

[Wavewolfaroha]

Just glorious--heartfelt, and obviously a crowd-pleaser...no one can deliver Po Ata Rau like Kiri!
