NiueYouthNetworkNz Singing - "Ko E Motu Kehe Lagi"

Ko E Motu Kehe Lagi - #129 Ko E Tau Lologo Tapu.
Ko e motu kehe lagi is a lologo mauku (Funeral hymn) usually sung when the coffin enters/exits the fale tapu (church).
We have farewelled our departed with this chorus for generations now, and NYN would like to dedicate this hymn to our beautiful ancestors who have paved the way and carved the vaka for our current generation to sail in, we are beyond grateful and will never forget the voices of the past. Ke he tau momoui ne tukulele ke moua e mautolu e mafola ke he vaha maama nai, ko e fakamanatuaga hanei ha mautolu kia mutolu. Fakaaue ke he tau loto, ato fakatu e la ke liliu feleveia a tautolu ke he motu I luga.
“Monuina e fenoga” - May your journey be blessed.
TAU KUPU LOLOGO (WORDS OF THE SONG)
V1) Ha i ai kehe lagi ha talu motu
Ka e nakai ko e lalolagi nei (i hinei)
Kua fakamavehe mo e tiaki ai,
E fonua malaia ha i ai nei
Tali) Hanei kua tauteute mau ki ai
Mo e leo atu ke he matagi mitaki
Kia hiki e vaka, mo e fakatu e laa,
Ke o atu ai ke he motu i luga (i luga)
V2) Ko e motu hana kia hoko ki ai,
Ko tautolu katoa kua tanaki mai nei,
Ke fakalataha mo e ha talu Iki
Ko ia ne taute ia ma tautolu nei.
