"I love the words of our National Anthem in Te Reo - E Ihoa Atua, O ngā iwi mātou rā, āta whakarongona; Me aroha noa. Kia hua ko te pai; Kia tau tō atawhai; Manaakitia mai Aotearoa.
Translation: O Lord, our God, and God of nations, Listen to us, Cherish us. Let goodness flourish, May your blessings flow. Defend Aotearoa (New Zealand). Te Reo version more appropriate than English considering our great tragedy, our loss, our deep mourning.
