LYRICS:
No 'oe e to'u nuna'a teie himene
Tapao no to'u aroha ia 'oe
Eiaha e fa'aea
Te tiaturi te Atua
Nana e arata'i ia 'oe
I roto i teie ao
A tatarahapa, a tatarahapa
Te fatata maira ho'i
Te batireia o teie ao
'Ore ho'i 'outou i 'ite i te hora
E ho'i mai ai to tatou Fatu
TRANSLATION:
This song is for you, my people
This is a sign of my love for you
Don't stop believing in God
He will guide you in this world
Repent, repent
The kingdom of this world is coming soon
But you will not know the time
Our Lord will return
