Hello from Philadelphia Pennsylvania, I've been and will continue to watch the "Stunning Roopu from the South island" video on TH-cam. I fell in love with your music. Keep up the good work!
I first saw this performance on Facebook about a month ago. I remember watching it and getting chills. I'm not even ashamed to say this made me tear up. I don't understand the language, but I felt this song and knew it carried some kind of sweet sentiment. They sound so beautiful!
Wow!! so beautiful that bro and his powerful vocal blend beautifully with her voice & together with the group for me as a Samoan i love all the Maori Waiata Wow bravo.
One of the most beautiful music I hae ever heard. Wonderful voices....! Congratulations from the bottom of my heart. Respect and greetings from an operasinger
This is so beautiful. I have such a fascination with maori, and samoan cultures I just cant explain it. Someday I will live in New Zealand or samoa. I need to learn everything
amazing singing and song !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I felt the whole song while closing my eyes. made my heart and soul peaceful. fakaofaofa ho mou hiva lelei (tongan) !!!!
I love their culture. Absolutely beautiful, and fascinating are their people. This song brings tears to my eyes and I have no idea why, or what they're saying.
jorja Justin biber is hot Nelson I have not. The closest thing I have to this experience is the years I lived in Hawaii. I would love to visit NZ one day though.
paper.cakes.808 oh... i thought they were gonna have their costumes on... but they sounded great.. i didnt understand a word but it feels like i understand it still lol if that makes sense
eno c aquaowo yeah I’d say it’s the same thing with lyrics too. I’m not sure with this song but a lot of Maori songs that are performed are made by the people themselves rather than popular singers.
I have completely no idea what they are saying but this is absolutely beautiful. It's been on replay since friday. ❤❤❤ By any chance, can someone translate this?
❤️ The song/waiata is a lament, the words are adapted from a tribute written in the 1860’s from a husband to his deceased wife, the love of his life. He likens their partnership to a double-hulled vessel that sailed the seas of life together. That is how the song starts, reminiscing about their happy life together. Upon her death, he is now left to navigate the oceans as a single hull, knowing that his ‘other half’ has drifted away, having been taken by the stormy tide. All he is left with are memories of their love and life together. He is left in solitude, grieving the loss of his beloved wife. the power of the words written by a husband, in absolute despair, grieving for the love of his life.
Who are the stunning leads? Their voices are aaaaaamazing!! This roopu is awesome!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️ I play this on blast at least once a week in San Jose, California ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Although you say that this is a māori waiata (song) although we share pretty much the same as the Hawaii culture and the Polynesians all around the pacific ocean 😇

Beautiful! Is there a way to have lyrics to this?
Usually for Maori songs and performances you either know the language or not, there’s hardly ever any translations. 😅😅
@@okbutjikook-8061 Not necessarily looking for translation. Just the lyrics.
eno c aquaowo yeah I’d say it’s the same thing with lyrics too. I’m not sure with this song but a lot of Maori songs that are performed are made by the people themselves rather than popular singers.
@@okbutjikook-8061 Can confirm that; this one was written by the guitarist and some of his friends and family

Beautiful ☪️❤❤
Ataahua! Ka pai
