Tānaki Ho Ngaahi Tāpuaki

Lyrics

1. 1. ʻO ka ke ka fononga he faingataʻá,

   ʻOua naʻá ke manavasiʻi,

   ʻO mahalo kuo mole ia kotoa,

   Kae maʻu ho ngaahi tāpuaki.

2. [Chorus]

   Tānaki ʻa

   ho tāpuaki.

   Tānaki ʻo

   lau taki taha,

   Tānaki ʻa

   e tāpuaki.

   Sio ki he ʻofa

   ʻa e ʻOtua.

3. 2. Pea ʻo ka faingataʻa ʻa e ngāue,

   ʻA ia kuo ui koe ke ke fai,

   Tānaki hoʻo ngaahi tāpuaki,

   Peá ke hiva koe ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho.

4. 3. ʻO ka ke ka sio ki he kakai,

   Mo honau fonua mo ʻenau koula,

   Manatuʻi kuo talaʻofa ʻe Sīsū,

   Ha koloa taʻe ʻi ai hano ngataʻanga.

5. 4. Tānaki ho ngaahi tāpuaki,

   ʻE tokoni ʻe he kau ʻāngelo,

   Te nau fakafiemālieʻi koe,

   Ki he ngataʻanga ʻo e fonongá.
