VESRE I
Tei konei te tango
O toku orahanga
Na te Atua i so mai
Ei ora moku
CHORUS
Mei tei roto au iakoe BETELA
Te vaitata nei au ki te Atua
E BETELA BETELA
Te punavai o toku ora
E BETELA BETELA
Te ora o toku vaerua
VERSE II
Mahitu toku ngakau
Merengo toku vaerua
Himene toku ngakau
Akapapa ia Iehova
Mahitu toku ngakau
Merengo toku vaerua
Himene toku ngakau
Akapapa Iaia
Translation
VERSE I
In this holy place is where I trust myself to be. Gifted by the Almighty God for my preservation.
CHORUS
When I'm in BETELA, I feel I'm in the presence of God.
OH, BETELA! BETELA! The foundation of my upbringing.
Wow, BETELA! BETELA! The giver of life for my soul.
VERSE II
My heart is humble. My soul is filled.
My heart is singing and praising the Creator of Heaven and Earth.
