Fakaʻofa Kiate Au

Lyrics

1. 1. Fakaʻofa kiate au
   Ko Siʻono tataki atu,
   Ke tutuki ki he ʻakau,
   Ka naʻe ʻikai siʻane hanu.
2. 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. 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.
5. 3. Ko Ho ngaahi tā ne ʻai
   Kuo mau toe hao aí,
   Tafe ai siʻo taʻataʻa,
   Vai fufulu ʻemau angahala.
6. 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.
7. 4. ʻOku tangi hoku lotó,
   Tafe ai ʻa e vai mo e toto
   Lau naʻe fakamamahiʻi,
   Hoʻo tautapa ʻi Ketisemaní.
8. 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.
