E le tuua fa'apo evaga le tatou mafutaga. Oute le sola foi fa'atama o le po. E ao ona momoli atu se matou fa'afetai i tagata Pasefika o Kalaisetete. Fa'afetai mo le tou tapuaiga. Fa'afetai mo lo outou alolofa. Fa'afetai mo la outou lagolago mai ia te a'u i tausaga e tele. Fa'afetai, fa'afetai, fa'afetai tele lava. Malo 'aupito. Metaki maata. Fakaue lahi. I shall not depart like a thief in the night, nor shall I simply disappear into the shadows. I am moved to express my heartfelt gratitude to the Pacific people of Christchurch. Thank you for your spirit of solidarity. Thank you for your love and compassion for me. Thank you for your support for me over many years. Thank you.
