Monū ka ko ha Monū ne Tō

Lyrics

1. 1. Monū ka ko ha monū ne tō,
   Ne tafitonga ʻa e langi ē,
   Ne lotu siʻi kāinga ʻo pehē,
   Sapaoti ʻafio Ho fale.
2. ʻOku mau tautapa ē,
   Toka pē Ho hōifua,
   Lingi Ho Laumālie,
   Tali hū Ho huafa.
3. 2. Lāngilangi ʻo ʻIsileli,
   Ne toka he temipalé,
   Siʻi kāinga ne nofo Ho falé,
   Ko homau mālohinga maʻu pē.
4. ʻOku mau tautapa ē,
   Toka pē Ho hōifua,
   Lingi Ho Laumālie,
   Tali hū Ho huafa.
5. 3. ʻOku mau ʻamanaki atu,
   Sīsū ke lingi kelesí,
   Fakafonu he tāpuakí,
   Tō Hoʻo ʻofa he loto Siasí.
6. ʻOku mau tautapa ē,
   Toka pē Ho hōifua,
   Lingi Ho Laumālie,
   Tali hū Ho huafa.
7. 4. ʻOfa ke manatu maʻu pē,
   Satai ʻafio Ho falé,
   Ka mau ka tangi he hia ē,
   Tali hū mo fakamolemolé.
8. ʻOku mau tautapa ē,
   Toka pē Ho hōifua,
   Lingi Ho Laumālie,
   Tali hū Ho huafa.
9. 5. Ulo maʻu pē heni Ho maamá
   Tufaki poto Ho huafá
   Huluhulu ai pē he halá
   Ke mau ʻilo meʻa taʻe ngatá.
10. ʻOku mau tautapa ē,
    Toka pē Ho hōifua,
    Lingi Ho Laumālie,
    Tali hū Ho huafa.
11. 6. ʻOku mau fakaʻamua loto pē
    ʻE Tamai afe noa pē
    Ke ʻaonga siʻemau ngāué
    Ke hoko ko homau ʻamui ē.
12. ʻOku mau tautapa ē,
    Toka pē Ho hōifua,
    Lingi Ho Laumālie,
    Tali hū Ho huafa.
