ʻOku Faʻa ʻEveʻeva

Loto-fakakaukau

1. ʻOku ou faʻa ʻeva he manafa kolová

Mo tānaki ha matalaʻiʻakaú.

ʻOu tānaki ia he aumanafa ko iá.

Siʻi faʻē kuó u manatua ai ko eé.

2. Siʻi faʻē ko ʻeku ʻofa he matala

Ke ʻalaha manongi ʻi hoʻo moʻuí.

Ka ʻoku ou ʻofa he ngaahi meʻá ni

Ne u ako ke ʻofa ai meiate koe.
