Tau Lotu pea Tau Hū

1. Tau lotu pea tau hū

Pea punou hotau ʻulu,

Ke tau fakakaukau,

Ki Hono huafa tapú.

Malingi Hono toto,

Hangē ha ʻuha kuo tō,

Hokaʻi ʻa Ho sino,

Hoko hotau taukapó.

2. Tapuakiʻi ʻa e mā

Ko hoku sinó iá,

Mo hoku taʻataʻa,

Toto ʻo e fuakavá.

ʻE ke tau manatuá,

ʻA e hia kuo ikuná,

Ne fai ʻi Kālevale,

Ikunaʻi ʻa e maté.

3. Fēfē ho laumālié,

He melino fulipē,

Folofola ne pehē,

Ko e fua ʻo e lotu

Kuo ʻatā koe mo aú,

Ko hoku laumālié,

ʻE moʻui maʻu pē.

4. Te tau nofo taloní,

Mo e kau māʻoniʻoní.

Mo Hoʻo fānau fili,

Nofo He ʻene ʻofá,

Nofo ʻo taʻengatá.
