Kuo Hopo ʻa e Laʻā

Lyrics

1. 1. Kuo hopo ʻa e laʻā Ho-
   po ʻi he langi maʻá,
   Kuo pau ʻene ngingila
   ʻo ulo ʻi māmaní.
2. Puke ia ke maʻu na-
   ʻa hoko ʻa e poʻulí,
   Pea mole ʻia koe
   ʻa e ulo ʻo e laʻā.
3. 2. Kuo ulo ʻa e laʻā Ke
   tau hanga atu ki ai,
   Tau faifeinga ke ta-
   u maʻu hono uló.
4. Puke ia ke maʻu na-
   ʻa hoko ʻa e poʻulí,
   Pea mole ʻia koe
   ʻa e ulo ʻo e laʻā.
5. 3. Kuo hoko ʻa e maama
   ʻI he ulo ʻo e laʻā,
   Nofo ʻi hono maama
   ʻo maʻu hono uló.
6. Puke ia ke maʻu na-
   ʻa hoko ʻa e poʻulí,
   Pea mole ʻia koe
   ʻa e ulo ʻo e laʻā.
7. 4. Monūʻia kinautolu
   Kuo nau maʻu iá,
   Te nau maʻu ʻa e maama
   ngingila ʻo e laʻā.
8. Puke ia ke maʻu na-
   ʻa hoko ʻa e poʻulí,
   Pea mole ʻia koe
   ʻa e ulo ʻo e laʻā.
