1. ʻA e ngaahi moʻunga ē,
Tuʻu maʻu taʻe ngāué,
He ngāue ngaahi tamaí,
He fonua lelei ní,
Lāngilangi mo leleí,
Tui ki he ʻOtua moʻuí,
Hiki hake ʻa e fuká,
He toafa mōmoá.
[Chorus]
Hiva mo e ngaahi toafá,
Fai atu ʻa e ngāué,
Kalanga mo e moʻungá,
Fai atu ʻa e ngāué,
Hiki hake ʻetau fuká,
Laka ki he ikuná,
Kau talavou toʻá,
Fai atu ʻa e ngāué.
2. Tau langa ha maka funganí,
Fale ʻo e Tuʻí,
Ngingila pea māsaní,
Hiva fakafetaʻí,
He tofiʻa kuo ʻomí,
ʻIkai ha koloa ʻosí,
Ka ko e tāpuaki leleí,
Fiefia moʻoní.
[Chorus]
Hiva mo e ngaahi toafá,
Fai atu ʻa e ngāué,
Kalanga mo e moʻungá,
Fai atu ʻa e ngāué,
Hiki hake ʻetau fuká,
Laka ki he ikuná,
Kau talavou toʻá,
Fai atu ʻa e ngāué.
