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.
