Tuku Keu Nofo Ho Lalo Vaʻe

Tuku keu nofo ho lalo vaʻe
Jīsū pekia ʻi Kalevale
Fua ho kolosi tokotaha pē
Moʻuiʻanga hoku laumaalie.
 
ʻUtuʻutufia ʻa jiʻi Mele
Jiʻene tautoʻe ho lalo vaʻe
Naʻa ne folofola hifo ʻo pehē
Tama he ko ʻena ʻa hoʻo faʻē.
 
Fakaʻofa ko jiʻi kaihaʻa
Jiʻene kole hake ki he ʻOtua
Ka ke ka hoko leva ki ho Puleʻanga
Manatuʻi au ko e angahala.
 
Naʻa ne folofola hifo ʻo pehē
Tama nofo fiemaalie pē
Ko ʻeni kuo u tali ʻa hoʻo kole
Te ta ʻi palataisi mo koe.
 
Tau:
ʻOiau
ʻA e mamahi ne ne feau
Ko e ʻuhi!
Ko e angahala ʻa koe mo au
Jīsū!

Translation

Let Me Stay Beneath Your Feet

Let me stay beneath your feet
Jesus [who] died on Calvary
[You] carry your cross alone
[The] source of life to my soul.
 
The tears of poor mary
Her moaning beneath your feet
Then he spoke down [to them] and said,
"Men,1this is your mother."2
 
[How] dear is the thief
[His] plea [as he looked up] to the Lord,
"[Lord], when you ascend to your kindgom,
Remember me, a sinner."3
 
He [then] spoke down [to him] and said,
"Man,4be at peace.
I now respond to your plea,
[Therefore], we will be in paradise with you."5
 
Chorus:
Alas
[To] the pain he endured
The reason being!
Because of sin -- yours and mine
Jesus!
