Thank you so much for displaying this song on the UA-cam. Kindly allow me to share something about this song. Hopefully some will appreciate the song more. I was playing this song in my office and my brother, Patele Seluini 'Akau'ola, came from Tonga to Sydney and visited me. He heard the song and he told me he composed the song and the melody as well and sung by the Feauini 'o e Sopu 'o Taufa. I doubted him but he told me it was Hingano Langatau, my mother's relation, who asked Patele to compose a song on the depth of love. He did and he said the name of the song is "Senesi 'o e 'Ofa" or "Genesis of Love." He said that the Book of Genesis is the book about the beginning and God is the author of life and the whole universe. God created out of love for God is Love. Everyone needs to love and be loved and the whole mystery of love is found in God. We long to experience love in eternity for God's love is eternal and happiness is in the depth of love. He gives the example of the first verse: "Soa e 'ikale he 'Alifa 'o e 'Ofa" and this line talks about the Eagle soaring high with the sharpness of the eyes, looking from the deep. In the Book of Revelation the symbol of John the Gospel writer is the Eagle. He is the beloved disciple who lean against Jesus at the last supper desiring to understand the depth of love. This is where John wants to soar. Jesus Christ is the Alpha and Omega. So John knows that Jesus is the Alpha of Love, the First. "Tafe ta'ata'a matavai monu'ia" is how love is genuinely expressed on the cross and we are blessed. The lover sacrifices so that the beloved is blessed and experience happiness. It is selfishness if the lover loves so that he/she experience happiness at the expense of the beloved. Jesus desires that you and I are happy. "Pelikani e mo'ui Laione 'o Siuta" and again it is the nature of the pelican to give its life to her offspring when life is threatened. Jesus Christ is the Pelican and he is also the Lion of Judah in the scripture. "Senesi 'o e 'Ofa Laione 'o Mala'ekula" and King George Tupou I (Laione 'o Mala'ekula) learn to give Tonga to God for God is the Genesis of Love. Aren't we blessed. "Ko e 'Otua mo Tonga ko Hoku Tofi'a." I think the first verse is enough for now. This is the correct words of the song "Senesi 'o e 'Ofa" in case you need. SENESI 'O E 'OFA (1)Soa e 'Ikale he 'Alifa 'o e 'Ofa/Tafe ta'ata'a matavai monu'ia /Pelikani e mo'ui Laione 'o Siuta/Senesi 'o e 'Ofa Laione 'o Mala'ekula/ (2)Polovitesia ki he Tonga kotoa/Hange si'a fa'e siofia si'ene tama/Foha si'i 'ene foki kae tali fiefia/'La'a kuo to maa'imoa 'o 'iloa/ (3) 'Akapei 'o e 'Ofa kapasa ki he lelei/Hau 'o Felenite siutaka he 'otu muli/Inumia e faingata'a melie 'o e kolosi/Koula he fonise kalauni 'i Hevani/ (Tau) Sema 'o 'Isileli kalanga 'i Pouono/Anga fakatu'a lau 'a e 'Apositolo/Polata'ane to'oa he 'uheina huelo/ Siupeli 'o e 'Ofa 'o Ha'a Moheofo...... Composed by Patele Seluini 'Akau'ola......Malo and 'ofa atu. 'Ofa 'Akau'ola Tupola
