I wanted to know if anyone is familiar with this commercial for mountain dew. I've heard it on the radio numerous times. It's a guy singing and playing a guitar, and he mentions a place which apparently is in New Zealand that I would like to know the spelling of so I can practice saying it. I'll write out the words he sings and put a ... where the place name appears in it.

I was born in a place called ...
It's the place that I call home.
And I'll always come back to ...
No matter how far I roam.

He kehau ho'oma'ema'e ke aloha.

Got it! Mahalo!

(sings) I was born in a place called Taumata whakatangi hangakoauau o tamatea turi pukakapiki maunga horo nuku pokai whenua kitanatahu.
It's the place that I call home.
And I'll always come back to Taumata whakatangi hangakoauau o tamatea turi pukakapiki maunga horo nuku pokai whenua kitanatahu,
No matter how far I roam.

He kehau ho'oma'ema'e ke aloha.
