Pūkana - Stan Walker

Kua roa au e whakaaro ana me waiata ki te reo Māori. Ka tae mai te tono a Pūkana ka mōhio au koinei te wā tika. / For a long time I thought about singing in Māori. When the offer came from Pūkana, I knew the time was right.

– Stan Walker talks about song 'Aotearoa'

Ahakoa ko wai koe, ahakoa nō hea koe, ahakoa tō tawhiti, menā i noho koe ki Aotearoa, nō Aotearoa rānei koe, ka ora koe i tēnei waiata e pā ana ki tō tātou whenua. / Whoever you are, wherever you're from. Whether from a long way away and you're staying in Aotearoa, or whether you're from Aotearoa, this song about our land will pick you up.
