Please comment if you enjoyed this video.
'Pokarekare Ana' - a beatiful love song, written by a homesick soldier, serving in the Maori Battalion during World War I - with it's tale of longing, for home & loved ones immediately touched his fellow countrymen, who adopted the haunting melody as thier own.
It's now a poignient musical touch-stone for any homesick New Zealander.

I have listened to many version of this magnificent song on youtube, but this one is the best so far.
I once returned across Lake Wakatipu on the wonderful SS 'Earnslaw'. The pianist played this song, and I was the only person on the whole vessel not singing. Even teenagers were giving their all.
