Translation of the song Ko Hoku Loto artist Christian Hymns & Songs

Ko hoku loto ke ma'u e Sīsū

My desire [is] to have Jesus

Ko 'eku holi pē kia te ia

My only wish for Him

Teu feinga ka 'ikai lava

I will suffer, yet unable to handle [it]

Ko e 'uhi ko e angahala

The reason being [is] sin

Ka teu feinga pē keu ma'u koe.

But I'll just suffer to have You.

Chorus:

Ka ne ke 'ilo Sīsū kuo 'omi mai he 'aho ni

But Jesus, You knew You have given me this day

Pea teu fifili ko hai nai teu 'ofa ai

And I will choose, who I dearly will love [on that day]

Kuo pau ke Ne ma'u he'eku me'a kotoa

Surely He must have all of my everything

'O 'ikai ha 'ilo pē mo'oku loto ke ne ma'u mo ia.

And [there is] no thought about it that He may have my soul with Him.

Ko 'Ene fiema'u ke tokoni 'ia ha taha

[The thing] He wants is to help anyone

Ka naʻa ku mole mei 'a e hala

But I was nearly lost in sin

Ke ne taki 'a koe mo au

That he may guide you and me

Fakafoki ki 'api

Bring [us] back home

He ko 'ene fiema'u

Because [what] He wants...

Ke ma nofo mo ia

Is for the both of us to be with Him.
