In 2020 I recorded my first version of 'Keta Tauk' after my first visit to Timor-Leste. Now in 2024, I've only grown in my love for the Timorese people and culture and wanted to create a new version of it! 'Keta Tauk' means 'Do Not Fear' in Tetun and is the first Tetun song I ever learnt. I hope you enjoy it!

Iha tinan 2020 hau halo hau nia versaun primeiru husi knananuk 'Keta Tauk'. Iha tinan 2024 hau agradese tebes ba kultura no ema timoroan sira. Hau hakarak halo versaun foun knananuk 'Keta Tauk'. Hau nia knananuk tetun primeiru ne'ebe hau aprende mak 'Keta Tauk'. Maromak fo bensaun ba imi!

Verse:
Tanba Hau Nai o nia Maromak (For I, the Lord your God)
Kaer o nia liman loos (Will hold your right hand)
Hau hatete, la bele tauk (I say, do not fear)
Hau sei tulun o (I will help you)

Pre-Chorus:
Iha Jesus nia naran (In Jesus' name)
Nakukun tenki sai (Darkness must leave)
Tanba Nia mak naroman, Nia mak liurai (Because He is the light, He is the king)
Saida-saida deit mai (Whatever may come)
Fiar-fiar deit ba Nai (Just trust in Him)

Chorus:
Keta tauk, keta tauk (Do not fear, do not fear)
Tanba Nai kaer o nia liman loos (Because the Lord holds your right hand)
Keta tauk, keta tauk (Do not fear, do not fear)
Maromak sei tulun o (God will help you)
