Naʻe ʻAfioʻi pē ʻe Sīsū



Lyrics

  1. 1. Naʻe ʻafioʻi pē ʻe Sīsū,

    Kuo ofi ʻenau māvae,

    Naʻá Ne tala ki he kau akó,

    Ke ʻoua te nau mamahí.

  2. [Chorus]

    ʻO ka tau ka māvae

    ʻofa ke tau toe fakataha

    ʻI he kolo ʻo e ʻOtuá

    ʻI he kolo ko Hēvani.

  3. 2. Naʻá Ne talaʻofa ʻo pehē,

    Te u ʻalu ki he Tamai,

    ʻO teuteu ha nofoʻanga lahí,

    Ke tau fakataha ki ai.

  4. 3. ʻO ka tau ka tutuku ʻi hení,

    Ke tau māvae ʻi he ʻEikí,

    Pea tau maʻu ʻa e talaʻofá,

    Ko e moʻui taʻe ngatá.

  5. 4. Te tau toe fakataha ʻafē,

    ʻI he kolo ʻo e ʻOtuá,

    ʻO ka ʻosi ʻa e nofo taimí,

    Te tau ʻi he kolo ʻofá.

  6. 6. ʻE Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní,

    Ke ke angi ʻi Ho Siasí,

    Fakamoʻoni ʻa e palōmesí

    Te Ne hoko ko e fetongí.

  7. 5. ʻEiki ke Ke tokoni mai

    Ki ho kakai vaivai;

    Ke mau tuʻu maʻu ʻi he tuí,

    Ke ʻoua naʻa mau hē.
