Pokarekare Ana - Hayley Westenra version
YouTube is amazing for its ability to create a shared global culture and here is a beautiful rendering of a very nice New Zealand song (the language is Maori but with English subtitles)
I first heard it when I was in New Zealand( one of my three nationalities!) but I really like this version
If you are interested in the history and meaning of this song see Pokarekare Ana
As for most people, this song has memories of a woman for me .. and more generally of my time in New Zealand.
I hope you also enjoy it
As per YouTube,
This version is sung by Hayley Westenra, and some pictures of her from the album "Odyssey"... The English translation comes from the booklet of her CD "Pure".
