Fanongo, ko e ʻEikí ʻoku Ui
ʻI he loto-tui
1. Fanongo ko e ʻEikí ʻoku ui,
Ke tau fakamoʻoni ki ai,
Pea tala ki Hono ongoongó,
ʻO e ʻofa ʻa e Tamaí.
[Chorus]
Laka, laka atu, viki Hono huafá,
Laka, laka atu, viki Hono huafá,
Laka, ʻoua ʻe tuka, Faimālohi he hivá.
Ko e ʻOtua pe kuó Ne ui ke
Fai ʻEne ngāué.
2. Ko e ui ke fakakoloá,
ʻAki ʻEne ngaahi talaʻofá,
Ke fiefia ʻi Hono huafá,
He kuó Ne fakaʻatā.
[Chorus]
Laka, laka atu, viki Hono huafá,
Laka, laka atu, viki Hono huafá,
Laka, ʻoua ʻe tuka, Faimālohi he hivá.
Ko e ʻOtua pe kuó Ne ui ke
Fai ʻEne ngāué.
