Praise and gratitude for blessing from God the Father and our Brother Jesus Christ.

E lo’u Tama e, Ua Fa’afetai
(Fa’afetai)
Ua sili lou, alofa mai
Ua fai ai a’u ma au tama fai

Ta Fa’amanu ai nei!

[Tali]
Ua Fa’afetai, Ua Fa’amanu
Ua fai ma Uso Iesu
E ola ai a’u e fa’avavau
(Fa’avavau)
Ta Fa’amanu ai nei

Ta ofo i lenei lelei
Ua e aumai mo ita nei
O a’u sa agamasesei
Ta Fa’amanu ai nei

Ua Fa’afetai, Ua Fa’amanu
Ua fai ma Uso Iesu
E ola ai a’u e fa’avavau
(Fa’avavau)
Ta Fa’amanu ai nei

Lenei ua le toe fefe ai
Ae nau Alofa ia te oe
Ma vala’au, E lo’u Tama e
Ta Fa’amanu ai nei

Ua Fa’afetai, Ua Fa’amanu
Ua fai ma Uso Iesu
E ola ai a’u e fa’avavau
(Fa’avavau)
Ta Fa’amanu ai nei

Se finagalo ea o ai
Ua fai ai a’u ma tama fai
E le o a’u ua na o oe
Ta fa’amanu ai nei

Was wondering if someone can provide a translation.. doesn’t have to be a literal word for word translation.. just wanted to know what the meaning of the song was…

ai niu sami

The song is about justification through Christ. The singer is saying thank you for a peaceful heart brought about by the gift of eternal life.

MoTH

Verse 1 My Father, thank you for your Great love that you have adopted me We worship you now

Verse 2 I am astonished at this grace you have given me for I was a sinner We worship you now

chorus Thank you, I worship you For Jesus is a brother of mine and I will live forever We worship you now

verse 3 For now I will not be afraid, but I will adore you and proclaim you are my Father we worship you now

Anyone know who sang the version that was studio recorded but it sounded like a jam session in the beginning of the song? I could have sworn it was Lole Usoali’i and Jamoa Jam singing and it was more like a modern gospel version of the song..I can’t find it anywhere but I used to listen to it all the time when I was younger.bert

Ezra

Bert, i think your looking for the version sung by Lole and Adeaze.

So grateful for this. I am Samoan and I remember the hymns but I don’t know or understand our language so this is very helpful. I know it’s frowned on in our culture not to know the language but I am still proud of my culture but most proud of the God I serve and this hymn is Biblically on point!!!

Ezra
