Fakaʻofa Kiate Au



Lyrics

  1. 1. Fakaʻofa kiate au

    Ko Siʻono tataki atu,

    Ke tutuki ki he ʻakau,

    Ka naʻe ʻikai siʻane hanu.

  2. [Chorus]

    Tau tuʻu hake muʻa ʻo ʻalu

    kia Sīsū he funga ʻakau,

    Ne pekia ai ʻa e Hau

    Ko e fai ʻa hotau fakatau.

    Sīsū e ne Ke ongosia

    he mamafa ʻemau hia,

    Ne ʻikai te ke hanu pe ʻi ai

    Ka ke ʻofa heʻemau mate.

  3. 2. Tangi ʻa siʻoku lotó.

    He lavea ne ʻai ʻi Ho sino,

    Ko e faʻo ʻe fā mo e taó

    Tafe ai Siʻono taʻataʻa.

  4. 3. Ko Ho ngaahi tā ne ʻai

    Kuo mau toe hao aí,

    Tafe ai siʻo taʻataʻa,

    Vai fufulu ʻemau angahala.

  5. 4. ʻOku tangi hoku lotó,

    Tafe ai ʻa e vai mo e toto

    Lau naʻe fakamamahiʻi,

    Hoʻo tautapa ʻi Ketisemaní.
