I he ʻAiʻangakai ʻo e Manu



Lyrics

  1. 1. Naʻe ʻaloʻi mai ʻa Sīsū Ka-

    laisi ʻi he ʻaiʻangakai ʻo e manu

    Naʻe ʻikai siʻano mohenga ka

    ko e mohuku pē naʻe ʻaloʻi aí.

  2. 2. Tangi ʻa e pulu pea ʻā ʻa e pēpē

    ka ko siʻi Sīsū naʻá Ne naʻa pē

    Sīsū ē kuó Ne ʻafio mai mei langi

    ʻokú Ne leʻohi au he poʻulí.

  3. 3. Afe mai ā Sīsū ē ke ta nofo,

    ʻAofi au pea ke ta feʻao

    Tāpuakiʻi fai homau leʻohi

    pea tau nofo maʻu ʻi hēvaní.
