New Zealand is such a great place and is known as one of the most beautiful places in the world💕 Like or reply if you agree💖😘

Turning 16 in march. I grew up with this absolute masterpiece in school, heck yeah Aotearoa!! 🇳🇿 🇳🇿

I Come from Denmark, but i lived in Aotearoa for almost 8 month. I just Discovered this song..... and to be honest, i feel like its speaking to me, that i Belong in Aotearoa❤️ i wanna stay here forever, learn Maori culture learn the language. EVERYTHING!!! I LOVE Aotearoa❤️

There's one thing I hope will happen in 3 years nearly finishing cleaning New Zealand's rivers Like if you want this to happen

Not from New Zealand, but I love the language, the people, the designs ect. Much love from Sweden!

THERE IS NO WAY THIS WAS 6 YEARS AGO!?

As a kiwi and living in NZ for over 20 years this song is bringing me to tears so touching

Am from new Zealand 🇳🇿 like if you are

2019 anyone? Still one of the best songs ever.

My girlfriend and I were listening to a French radio reportage on New Zealand. This song was at the end of the Podcast and we looked at each other like “what the…” before jumping on our phones to Shazam it. The melody, the rhythm, the energy of this music is absolutely unique, it is an elevation almost like a sanctification. And oh boy, the Maori language looks like it was created to be sung. Anyway, this music track is now my morning boost. A respectful salute from the other side of the planet.

Who else is Samoan but still Jams these mean songs? Kia Ora to my Maori Brothers churr👌👌

Aotearoa is a beautiful place I'm so lucky to be living here.

I am Hawaiian born and raised in Hawaii relocated to Tennessee and discovered this beautiful song on KZfaq. Would love to visit Aoteora one day with my husband and children.

Can I just say, I'm South African and this song speaks to me on a level that most South African music has never reached!!! The fact that you named the song after New Zealand, incorporate your National Anthem, the beautiful scenery (WOW!!), sense of community, the joy and love of family, the way you appeal to your whakapapa..... Everything makes my blood sing in a HUNDRED different harmonies. I think I might belong there a little...

Remember, This is a country that cannot be taken over, Breathe Fire to the trees, At least we care for one another. And I am proud to see our country presents in a song that has meaning to life. I don't care about Australia claiming our stuff as theirs... At least we have one another! and we all stick together in the rough times and Stan, This is a Beautiful Song and a amazing way to presents New Zealand as a country that people will finally notices and I am proud to say I am a New Zealand myself and I want the world to finally redeem the peace in all countries and land, to the trees, and to our amazing creatures like the Kiwi... Thank you. ~Tahlia

Haven't heard this in years not even Maori but still know lyrics

Kia Ora. From Atlanta, never been to NZ but have spent over 1100 hrs on zoom with tangata pai o Maori. They have taught me much te reo Maori. Best to whanau in NZ.

i am from Malaysia and today is the first time i heard this song (in full) and i swear whenever a song such as this cross my path, I would definitely tear up, idk why? I dont even understand te reo (wanted to learn, but cant afford the tuition fee) but yeah, pray i will succeed at learning te reo someday. much love.

Wow, this song really makes me appreciate our country a little bit more! I wasn't born in New Zealand but I grew up here all my life so its basically my home and a home to many people of different ethnic groups. Thank you to Stan Walker and everyone involved in the making of this beautiful track and music video because you give the world a glimpse of why we call ourselves Kiwis and why we are proud to be one.

We need more modern Maori music like this.

I'm Cajun and indigenous and I wake up to this song !❤

I'm a Papua New Guinean and i love this song! 😭🔥 Nothing but Aroha ❤️ for the Maori people and Te Reo Maori language 🔥

I live in NZ I'm Maori and I am a fan of Stan because it's nice to have famous people here we don't have many

With all the division I have felt in NZ over the past few years I have found this music video a great help. It's a reminder of how we are still a bunch of individuals working towards one goal of a happy healthy country. I watch most nights with my kids so they can see how this country should be. If it comes to it I'll vote this for the new version of our national anthem!! Thanks again for capturing the true kiwi culture ❤

R.I.P to those killed in the christchurch massacre

I’m born in NZ, and raised in New Zealand, even though my parents are all from China, I am part of New Zealand. I love New Zealand 🇳🇿

Came to NZ when I was 7 (I'm 13 now) and I'm so proud to live in such a beautiful, amazing country. :)

I may be islander but i am still part of New Zealand and the Maori have a strong culture that makes NZders unique

The most beautiful wahine of all time, Papatuanuku. She has inspired the greatest singers, artists the heartiest warriors the deepest thinkers. Nga mihi nui to all Te Mana Wahine out there🕊

love being a maori. this song makes me cry every time

I'm thamizh but i love maori such a beautiful language 🇳🇿

Proud to be kiwi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For me, it's one of the best songs and videos to come out of NZ in a long time, since Dave Dobbyn's - Slice of Heaven song! Oh and Maisey Ruka's - Tangaroa Whakamautai is an awesome song + music video!

Full Tongan raised in Aotearoa. Proud asf to say I'm Kiwi. Malo 🙏🏾🙌🏾

Am almost 2 yrs here in Aotearoa. Before covid came. Feeling lost and away from home. But, staying here makes me appreciate how beautiful it is ,the country and people. It has many challenges just like any other country have. but just proud that meeting many amazing people here.

Kiwi? More like Maori I love my culture and everything in it you may be thinking whats the difference between Kiwi and Maori? There is a huuggee difference! Im so happy that Stan Walker, Ria Hall, Troy Kingi And The One And Only Maisey Rika were able to make this song makes me very proud.

Aotearoa is the best country in the world!~ (in my opinion) Who's with me?

New Zealand has almost everything it is a fresh place🌬🌳🌳

THIS SONG IS SO CATCHY! I’m not Māori, but I am from New Zealand! Absolute legand.

Who’s still jamming this in 2019 🙋🏽‍♀️

This is New Zealand, don't forget it.

This is a kiwi song. Celebration of Māori language. It’s our heritage. I am not a Māori but I love there music and songs. I hope to learn Māori when I can. So please anyone be respectful on this . Thank you Stan family for amazing song . And your singers. Beautiful voices

I give Māori my love from Japan!

Kia Ora Whanau Me Nga Matua Me Kaoa Kaotou Amuamu Ki Nga Tangata I Takahi I Tenei Waiata Me Whakanuia Matou I To Matou Ake Whenua Aint I Right Whanau

...and Australia still wants to argue that Stan and his talent "belong to them". Pakeha/Maori mix here btw. Ngapuhi all the way :)

I worked in NZ for half a year and it was an amazing experience. The people, the culture... Everyone was so welcoming and it still feels like a second home, although I've already been back in my home country for two years now. Its weird that I've got a feeling of homesickness for a country I was only a guest in

my dad born in tonga raised in NZ, now we live in Hawaii! i love aoteraoa and glad i get to visit often. i just surfed there at piha beach this year what a beauty that place is, kia kaha!

This makes me proud to live in nz, Kia kaha aotearoa.

NZ is a land that portrays kindess & Love. We are a safe haven for all those seeking acceptance in this world. And I for one am proud to be a Kiwi.

My favourite video

I’m an American yet I was born and raised here because my parents immigrated here I love this country!!!

I'm Filipino.... but I live in Newzealand

This song makes me fall more in love with New Zealand ❤️❤️

When aotearoa is coming together and stan Walker keeps singing with his beautiful voice

Ahakoa nō hea mai koe, ka whawhai tonu mātou mou. "No matter where you come from we will still fight for you". Brings a God damn tear to my eye lol

I'm new to the "Stan Walker Fan Club". Discovered him when I was searching for a doc to watch & came across his doc showing his rise to fame but also telling about his harsh, abusive childhood and the cancer genes that run in his family, making it necessary for him and other family members to have their stomachs removed. I have so much admiration for Stan, for surviving his childhood, working hard towards success in his career and for facing cancer head-on, doing what was necessary to live and be healthy. So much respect for this young man!

HE KAINGA KI TENEI WAIATAAAAAAAAAAA ❤❤❤
