Lyrics

  1. 1. Ko e hiva ʻo e lotó,
    He ʻaho kotoá,
    Fakataha mai ʻi ʻapí,
    Nofo ʻo taʻengatá,
    Mo e kakai monūʻiá,
    Mo e kāinga ʻofeiná,
    Nofo ʻo taʻengatá,
    Ko e hiva ʻo e lotó,
    Hiva ʻi hotau ʻapi leleí.
  2. 2. Neongo e koví,
    Ko e lea ke fakahā
    Tau hiva kalanga kotoá,
    Fekita he ʻofá,
    Fiefia he kāingá,
    Kuo nau pekia fuoloá,
    Fekita he ʻofá,
    Neongo e koví
    Siʻi kāinga ne pekiá.
  3. 3. Vīsone ʻe hā maí,
    He ʻapi leleí,
    ʻIkai ha lea feʻungá,
    Ka te u mamatá,
    Laumālie pē moʻoní,
    Hiva pea fakafetaʻí,
    Ka te u mamatá,
    He vīsione hā maí,
    Hiva loto-fakafetaʻí.
  4. 4. Hiva pea fakahā,
    Fiefia mo mavavá,
    Kakato ai ʻetau ʻofá,
    Fonu he fiefiá,
    He kāinga ʻofá,
    Mo ʻetau mātuʻa fakalangí,
    Fonu he fiefiá,
    Kalanga fiefiá,
    Mo ʻetau mātuʻa fakalangí.
