ʻA e Kau Tau ʻa e ʻOtua

ʻI he loto-mālohi

1. ʻA e kau tau ʻa e ʻOtua,

Fuka hele mo e pā,

Laka mo ikuna tau

ʻO fakatē ʻa e kau sō-

tia loto tahá,

Pea hiva fiefiá.

Kuo lava kuo ʻosi

ʻEne fai e huhuʻí,

Kuo lava kuo ʻosí

Kuo lava, kuo ʻosi, Fai ʻe Sī-

sū ko hotau ʻEikí.

Pea tau ʻa e ʻEikí,

ʻIkai ha holomui

Ui e taki Mou tui

ʻO mavava aí.

[Chorus]

Kuo lava kuo ʻosi

ʻEne fai e huhuʻí,

Kuo lava kuo ʻosí

Kuo lava, kuo ʻosi, Fai ʻe Sī-

Fakalāngilangiʻi

Pea fiefia aí.

[Chorus]

Kuo lava kuo ʻosi

ʻEne fai e huhuʻí,

Kuo lava kuo ʻosí

fai ʻe Kalaisí;

Kuo lava, kuo ʻosi, Fai ʻe Sī-

sū ko hotau ʻEikí.
