This was recorded early in her career ( 1989 ). This version is a mix of Maori and Norwegian.
Compared to Hayley's version, this one is more of a pop version. But rare mix of Maori and Norwegian...
Take it for what it is...

It is a lovely rendition of Pokarekare Ana. Unfortunately, your YouTube link pointed to a full version of the song, which is commercially-available.

Saw the video.... and saw it in half, I say!
Maybe it's just me, but I don't think "Pokarekare Ana" sounds good in any language except Maori, even if the wonderful Sissel is doing the singing. The addition of Norwegian makes it an abominable mash-up, something I never would have imagined I'd hear.
Would the proud citizens of Norway appreciate hearing their folk tunes sung in Maori? I kinda doubt it.
