He said he's going to pour you a glass. :-D ;-)

I don't think anyone is going to attempt to sing the French National Anthem, so unless anyone tells me otherwise, I will leave that one out!

HERE'S NEW ZEALAND'S

GOD DEFEND NEW ZEALAND

The anthem has English and Maori lyrics, with slightly different meanings. When performed in public, the usual practice is to sing the first verse in both Maori and English.


Maori verse: "Aotearoa"

E Ihowa Atua,
O nga iwi matou ra
Ata whakarangona;
Me aroha noa
Kia hua ko te pai;
Kia tau to atawhai;
Manaakitia mai
Aotearoa

English translation (Karetu)

Lord, God over yonder,
Of all our nations
Listen to us gently,
With the infinite love
May the goodness bear fruit;
May your kindness come;
Please give protection to
Aotearoa


English verse: "God Defend New Zealand"

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.

Thank him very kindly, Pat, Please :-) :-) :-) ;-) :-D

He said to take it easy and if you're still ok in half an hour he'll pour you another one. :-S
