Ne Fai pē mei Kālevale

ʻI he loto-ʻapasia

1. Ne fai pē mei kālevale,
Fefaʻuhi pē mo e mate,
Hake mei he faʻitoka
Hoko ko e mataʻikoloa,

[Chorus]

ʻOfa ē ka ko ha ʻofa,

Fai ʻe Sīsū he ʻakau

ʻOiauē ʻa e ngaahi kafo

Ne mamahi ka tau hao.

2. Ne Ne ongosia fau,
He huhuʻi koe mo au,
Taki ki he fakamaau
Lami ʻEne ʻofa fau,

[Chorus]

ʻOfa ē ka ko ha ʻofa,

Fai ʻe Sīsū he ʻakau

ʻOiauē ʻa e ngaahi kafo

Ne mamahi ka tau hao.

3. Vakai hono taki atu,
Ke tutuki ki he ʻakau,
ʻO Ne ongosia fau
Mate koeʻuhi ko au,

[Chorus]

ʻOfa ē ka ko ha ʻofa,

Fai ʻe Sīsū he ʻakau

ʻOiauē ʻa e ngaahi kafo

Ne mamahi ka tau hao.

4. ʻOku fuʻu ongo mai,
ʻA Hono fetakiaki,
Tafe toto he moʻunga
Ko e fakatau fonua,

[Chorus]

ʻOfa ē ka ko ha ʻofa,

Fai ʻe Sīsū he ʻakau

ʻOiauē ʻa e ngaahi kafo

Ne mamahi ka tau hao.
