Maori national anthem

hahaha terrible pic of me at work... but funny... :)

When I was working in Australia one day picking grapes, I learned the NZ national anthem in Maori. I just googled the text so I could see the speeling and write it in here, and I realized that I only actually learned the first part of the song. So now I have som practise to do. Anyway people here are impressed that I can sing it :)

Maori

E Ihowa Atua, (Ihoa)
O ngā iwi mātou rā,
āta whakarongona;
Me aroha noa.
Kia hua ko te pai;
Kia tau tō atawhai;
Manaakitia mai
Aotearoa.

English for some reason it was harder for me to learn this one.

God of nations! at Thy feet
In the bonds of love we meet,
Hear our voices, we entreat,
God defend our Free Land.
Guard Pacific's triple star,
From the shafts of strife and war,
Make her praises heard afar,
God defend New Zealand

Tjusig text, men hur går melodin?
