TEU HIKI 'A HOKU LE'O

The Royal New Zealand Navy Band
Mālō e lelei, Happy Tongan Language Week!
The Royal New Zealand Navy is full of sailors from all across the Pacific and the Band is fortunate to get to work alongside many of them through the RNZN's Pasifika Group.
The Navy Band also has strong ties with Tonga through our connection with His Majesty's Royal Corps of Musicians, having been to visit on several occaisions and hosted their Director of Music here with us several times as well.
To celebrate Tongan Language Week, have a listen to Able Musician Selu Fotu entertaining you with one of his favourite Tongan songs "Teu Hiki A Hoku Le'o".
Ka whanake reretau mātou. We move forward in harmony.

1. With thanksgiving and praise Will I lift up my voice And with the words of my song I thankfully acknowledge your love (Jesus) Chorus: There are not enough words To express my gratitude (or appreciation) For your love that I have experienced 2. My mind wanders back To the day I heard you calling There I vowed my life and answered Here I am Jesus, let your will be done
