Kneel to worship and sing praises to God.

Verse 1

Ifo maia lou ao
Sei ou faapaleina oe
I la’u viiga
O lou mamalu paia,
ia faaneeneeina
Agelu ma ao o le lagi
Kerupi ma serafi,
ma nuu uma taitasi
Ia faaloalo i le Atua
Omai tatou tapuai

Chorus
O lou pale lea, lo’u Tupu
Laei oe i le viiga ma le mamalu
O lou pale lea, lo’u Alii,
Iesu, Ou te ifo toatuli ma vivii

Verse 2
Tuu maia lou aao
Sei ou mulumuluina i ou loimata
O lou mamalu paia,
ia faaneeneeina
O le uu manogi fai lea ma taulaga
O lau viiga
Ou te ifo tapuai i lou Atua e toatasi

Verse 3
Liuliu alo maia, o ou fofoga
Ma laei oe i lou alofa
O lou mamalu paia,
ia faaneeneeina
O le pulu o lipano le muro ma le auro
Le viiga mai lou nei loto
Ou te ifo toele i le Atua le silisiliese

First and foreost , I just want to take this to say that when i firs theard this song that i really fell in love with it and wanted to do a special to this song for our church .. Really moves me when i hear it and got it memorized though was hoping if possible if their were the translation of this song .. Though I am Samoan though just don;t know certain words and it’s meaning !!! i know that it is talking about the Crown and how we are to wear it and treasure it.. but the others parts still having a hard time to make note about the rest of the meaning .. thank you nd continue to be blessed … love your guys voice and everything ,, really inspirational ..

Verse 1
Ifo maia lou ao Gently bow your head
Sei ou faapaleina oe so I can crown you
I la’u viiga with my praises
O lou mamalu paia, Your holy majesty
ia faaneeneeina shall be exalted
Agelu ma au o le lagi Angels and heavenly hosts
Kerupi ma serafi, Cherubim and Seraphim
ma nuu uma taitasi and every nation
Ia faaloalo i le Atua Honor the Lord
Omai tatou tapuai Come let us praise him.
Chorus
O lou pale lea, lou Tupu It’s Your crowning glory, You’re my King
Laei oe i le viiga ma le mamalu I’ll clothe you in praises and magnifications
O lou pale lea, lou Alii, It’s Your crowning glory, You’re my Lord
Iesu Ou te ifo toatuli ma vivii On bended knees, Jesus I will praise thee.
Verse 2
Tuu maia lou aao Kindly lend me your hand
Sei ou mulumuluina i ou loimata so I can caress them with my tears
O lou mamalu paia, Your holy majesty
ia faaneeneeina shall be exalted
O le uu manogi fai lea ma taulaga Like an offering of sweet fragrant oil
O lau viiga these are my praises
Ou te ifo tapuai i lou Atua e toatasi I will kneel and worship my one and only Lord.
Verse 3
Liuliu alo maia, o ou fofoga Tenderly turn and face me
Ma laei oe i lou alofa so I can clothe you with my adorations
O lou mamalu paia, Your holy majesty
ia faaneeneeina shall be exalted
O le pulu o lipano le muro ma le auro Like frankincense and myrrh, and gold
Le viiga mai lou nei loto the praises from my soul
Ou te ifo toele i le Atua le silisiliese To God Almighty, I will humbly bow

Malo au pito Loli for the translation, stay Blessed!

Frank

i love this song with all my heart and soul, but I am just a bit concern with this particular line…I know it means well, but…
Verse 1 Line 3
I la’u viiga… you probably meant it to be like crowning you with my singing, or my voice through praises…but it could also be interpreted as crowning you with my praises (as in my glory)…. please don’t get me wrong because I love the song the tune and many lives in our church have been led back to God because of this song…..but I struggle a bit at this one line…

Yuri Toleafoa

Malo au pito and Vinaka Vakalevu for such a wonderful song. It made my day when I heard it, and haven’t stopped listening to it. What a way to start my Sunday morning here in the UK, takes the cold dreary winter days and turns it into something beautiful, refreshing, challenging and my journey in life, seems more bearable. I am Blessed, and hope you all will be blessed abundantly!

Roddialek Pollo (Odi)

Thanks a lot Loli for yr translation so I can u’stand clearly about this Samoan worship song “Ifo Maia Lou Ao”. I think that’s one of the best worship song all over the world coz it can make me happy and comfort. I’ve heard more than 5 times..ha..he… Praise the Lord. Best wishes from Malang, East Java, Indonesia.

Jeanette

I anit Samoan but I’m in love with this song! Thanks for the translation! Praise God for such gifted talents!

Sharon Harrison

My very first time hearing Somoan singers and I am truly blessed. I am in love with “. O Lou Pale Lea”. Heard it got the first time yesterday and I played it all day. Even thought I don’t understand the words, it really ministered to me. I was up until using the Samoan/English dictionary to find out what “O Lou Pale Lea”, was. GOD bless your Praise Team. You are truly blessed.
