Bravo Cindy and the talented filmmakers who produced this spectacularly beautiful version of our national anthem. Cindy's voice is so natural and rich in our Maori heritage. It touched me deeply and makes me homesick for Aotearoa, but more than that, it filled me with pride.

Bravo and thank

you!

[Silknz]

That is the best rendition both visually and musically I have ever heard of our national anthem! It would bring a tear to the eye of many ex pats I bet!! EXCELLENT!

[HalfBloodOfficial]

Very beautiful! One of my NZ friends linked this on Facebook, very cool!

I just have to say that I'm proud to have been born in this beautiful country. Living in Los Angeles but want to retire back home in Wanganui, where I'm from. God bless New Zealand! : )

[Kiwimind1]

Hope, I can visit this beautyful land a time.

[Iamme4561]

@4bugleman Yeah they do but the Native language is Maori :) Everyone there speaks English though :)

[Iamme4561]

Went to New Zealand for a month on Holiday. It was one of the most amazing trips I've ever been on; I was only 6, but It was incredible and it is such an awesome place. :)

[dannerfest]

That was AMAZING!! Sorry to be a nitpicker, but it would have been fantastic if they ended it with a rousing Maori choir singing in both Maori and English.

[Ancupola]

Kapai! 

[MegaRoyalboy]

[denisirk38]

[HSRPedahzur]

That is without a doubt the most beautiful National Anthem I have ever experienced! Peaceful and humble, but bold and proud all at the same time! I am Canadian, but I was still moved to tears! Bravo New Zealand!

[desyangel]

@HSRPedahzur I can't agree more.

[sunnycw222]

LOVE YOU NEW ZEALAND

[MsSnail88]

wow what an amazing anthem and what a beautiful country i love my home land

[Y2J666999]

Joubert defend New Zealand.

[4791gothix]

So how many verses of this get sung when New Zealand wins the Olympics? Also what is the general opinion toward Americans?

[ac130ugunship]

@4791gothix

Usually first two

Depends on if you follow news blogs or talk to real Kiwi's, I have many good friends in the US and they are so simlar to me

Prsonally if someone is an idiot I'll treat them like one and lets remember with the Christchurch Earthquakes, America was one of the first to offer to help and in second major quake sent 80 personnel, 40 tonnes of gear, I believe that was California Task Force 6, That is remembered, I am 100 miles south of christchurch

[glw6nz]

@4791gothix the maori verse gets sung and the first 2 English verses get sang that is the main anthem that i know off by heart.

[LLAW019]

I am a Chinese living in New Zealand (for most of my life) and I am damn proud to call New Zealand my home country! Goodness, it is so beautiful.... and we are the 2011 RWC CHAMPIONS! I am prouder than ever!

[7earthenvessel]

ALL BLACKS = WORLD CUP 2011.

[theeasyma]

For me New Zealand is the most beautiful country in this world. And it makes me sad, that I live soo far away and can't easily visit the country and my good friends there :(

[420tapsumbong]

hells yess for the all blacks win!!!

[davidfine57]

What a beautiful anthem! So wonderful that much of it is sung in the Maori language.

[indigo001ful]

What a awesome prayer for your country and nation. Something to be truly proud of. Well done NZ on the world cup. You deserve it. From SA

[may0527be]

I'm a Japanese and I went to NZ this August.

[REMIJOE02]

vive le rugby allez la france

impossible n'est pas francais

[Maoritech]

@REMIJOE02 more like impossible n'est pas All Blacks mon ami! May the Best Team win!

[mrloco432]

eahhh...those arent the right words to our national anthem 'ihowa' ??? atleast get the maori words right..how shame

[ninns1000]

@mrloco432 In 1878 George Grey requested a first Māori translation. The translator was Thomas H Smith, a judge in the Native Land Court. From as early as the late 1880s, a number of versions of the Māori translation of the National Anthem have been incorrect. A typescript of the translation by T H Smith. ‘Ihowā’ is the standard version of God (Jehovah) and was the one used by Smith. The incorrect form, ‘Ihoa’, has been used for so long as to seem correct but ‘Ihowa’ is the correct version.

[mrloco432]

@ninns1000 no it aint, dont give me a whole book of the "correct" spelling of a maori word, are u maori even? i am, and that is not how u spell god in te reo

[ninns1000]

@mrloco432 yes I am Maori. Taranaki Tūturu/Te Atiawa/Ngati Kahugnugnu. Ihowa is the Maori translation of Jehovah.

[mrloco432]

@ninns1000 well im from ngapuhi-nui-tonu! and anyway, i still dont think ur right ;) soo just give up hahaha

[heretowindupthetrots]

Brilliant. A tiny nation that has been a bellwether for decency, liberal values and tolerance. And that has provided some of the best warriors to fight for them.

[Kossutt61]

Cari amici neozelandesi avete un inno bellissimo, io sono italiano e spero vinciate la Coppa del Mondo di Rugby il 23 Ottobre (Wonderful anthem my dear friends of New Zeland, I'm italian and I hope to win Rugby World Cup 2011). Good luck and God defend New Zealand!

When ever a country praises The God of nations, it always prospers, of course it has it's own p[problems but we always get through them. God Bless the Free lands and all the enemies be driven from our lands.
