I'm a Scotsman, my wife lived in Picton and then Wanganui when she was younger, I know she aches to see NZ again,...... one day❤

Lyrics: Te piki kōtuku kua riro atu rā Kua rere atu rā koe ki ngā rangi i runga Ki o rahi, ki o nui i te pō Waiho mai au, mokemoke ai - i te pō, i te pō E te rau aroha kua taka iho rā Kua rere atu rā koe ki ngā rangi i runga Ki o rahi, ki o nui i te pō Waiho mai au, mokemoke ai - i te pō, i te pō My rare white heron that has been taken... You have flown to the heavens above, To your many loved ones of the night Leaving me lost and alone in the darkness My adored feather of affection that has fallen...

I too should get down to learning the language properly, I would like to phase out using English for myself one day and only use it when I have to which will still be often anyway. I also wanna learn the Maori languages of all the Pacific, to deeply understand our language the way our most ancient ancestors may have.

Beautiful song..wonderfully presented..well done..
