Te u ʻAʻeva Pea mo Koe
ʻI he fakalotolahi
Ka ʻikai lava ke ke ʻeva
Liʻaki koe ʻe he kakaí.
He ʻikai te u lava.
Ka ʻikai lava ke ke lea
Manukia koe ʻe he kakaí
He ʻikai te u lava.
Te u ʻeva mo koe, talanoa kia koe
Ke fakahā ʻeku ʻofá.
ʻIkai liʻaki koe ʻe Sīsū
Na Ne ʻofaʻi taha kotoa
Te u pehē mo au.
Tāpuekina kotoa
Ne pehē mai “Muimui mai”
Te u fai ia!
ʻIo te u fai leva ia.
Te u ʻeva mo koe, talanoa mo koe
Ke fakahā ʻeku ʻofá.
