ʻI he Māmani mo e Faingataʻa

Lyrics

1. 1. ʻI he māmani mo
   e faingataʻá,
   ʻOku ai ʻa e paea
   mo e masivá,
   Fēfē hono lelei
   kapau te tau fai,
   ʻI he loto ʻofa
   mo e kātakí.
2. ʻAtu ʻa e ʻofa ki he masivá
   Fakafiemālié
   Hono ngaahi ʻaho,
   ʻAtu ʻa e ʻofa ki he masivá
   Fakafiemālié
   hono ngaahi ʻaho.
3. 2. ʻOku ai ha meʻa
   te u lava ke fai,
   Kapau te u feinga
   ʻo faimālohi,
   ʻOua te tau foʻi,
   ki he faingataʻa,
   Ka ke laka atu
   ki hotau palé.
4. ʻAtu ʻa e ʻofa ki he masivá
   Fakafiemālié
   Hono ngaahi ʻaho,
   ʻAtu ʻa e ʻofa ki he masivá
   Fakafiemālié
   hono ngaahi ʻaho.
5. 3. ʻO ka tau mamahi
   fai ʻetau hivá,
   Fakafiefia
   hotau kāingá,
   Tuʻu ʻi he tui
   ki hotau ʻEikí,
   ʻAtu ʻa e ʻofa ki
   Heʻene fānaú.
6. ʻAtu ʻa e ʻofa ki he masivá
   Fakafiemālié
   Hono ngaahi ʻaho,
   ʻAtu ʻa e ʻofa ki he masivá
   Fakafiemālié
   hono ngaahi ʻaho.
