Lyrics

1. 1. ʻOku ʻalu fano ʻa e,
   ʻOtua he anga,
   Fakamisiteli ke fai,
   Ngāue fakaofo.
2. 2. ʻOku fokotuʻu Hono,
   Topuvaʻe ʻi he,
   Ngaahi tahi pea heka,
   ʻI he ngaahi afa.
3. 3. ʻOku loloto he vaí,
   Vai kilukilua,
   ʻA e poto taʻe mole,
   ʻOkú ne foaki.
4. 4. Pea loto-mālohi ai,
   ʻA e kakai tui,
   ʻI he tāpuaki ʻofa,
   Maʻanautolu.
5. 5. ʻOua ʻe tui vaivai
   He ngāue ʻa e ʻEiki
   Ka ke tui mālohi pē
   Ki Heʻene ʻofa.
6. 6. Ko e ʻOtua pē ko ia
   Te Ne fakahā pē
   Pea toki mahino ai
   ʻA e meʻa kotoá.
