  • Oh my God, I remember this add, and I really want to cry every time I see it. I'm from Paraguay, South América, I went to NZ in 1995 as an exchange student... I lived there for a year, New Zealand is the best country in the world, I really fell in love of this beautiful country... I hope someday I go back to this paradise, everthing in NZ is wonderful, you new zealanders must be proud to be from there... Greetings fom Paraguay...

  • They are agitated the waters of Waiapu,

    But when you cross over girl they will be calm.

    Oh girl return to me,

    I could die of love for you.

    I have written my letter I have sent my ring,

    so that your people can see that I am troubled.

    My pen is shattered, I have no more paper

    But my love is still steadfast.

    My love will never be dried by the sun,

    It will be forever moistened by my tears.

  • Well, at least they aren't socialist now like they were during the 80s and 90s..

  • was this in the 90s

  • @henryandwater They can't because they are computer generated Gannets (a native New Zealand-Australian Bird) That is probably the most magic piece of the full ad.

  • I've never been to NZ, but I've listened to this song so many times, from Hayley Westenra to the traditional indigenous Maori version that now, watching this Air NZ ad, even I'M getting tears in my eyes--especially since I now know the story behind the words and melody...and I have a love for the sound of the Polynesian languages--sooo musical!

  • Much love 4 this advert. The combination of the visuals, Kiri Te Kanawa and Tem Morrison are brilliant. Love Rico, but it would be great if they brought this back.

  • This Ad made me sad everytime I heard it back in the day. 18 years on, I still feel the same. Air New Zealand make the best ads ever

  • Christchurch earthquake memorial today!!!

  • Shit bro.. I remember this.

  • This ad both makes me want to smile and brings me to tears. 

  • im from UK ...she misses the culture and all her friends she has been homesick for many years
