Muimui ʻIate Au

ʻI he loto-vaivai

1. Muimui ʻiate Au

ʻI he hala kuo tofa,

Te u manatu ki he ʻOtua.

ʻI he ʻofa ongongofua.

2. Muimui ʻIate au,

ʻE hā ngingila ange fau,

Pea hā ʻEne folofola.

Faʻahinga ʻo e tangata.

3. Ke tau kumi kiate Ia,

Pea muimui ʻi he ʻOtua,

Nonga ai pea fiefia,

Falala ki he ʻOtua.

4. Ke tau fakatatauʻi,

ʻA ʻEne ʻi he māmani,

Kuo fakatauʻatāina,

Kitaua he ʻOtua.

5. Muimui ʻoua ʻe tuka,

Sio ke mamaʻo atu

Fai he loto-tuiaki

Taʻe tokaʻi ʻa e fili.

6. He ko e pale ʻoku hā mai

Kalauni ʻo e kololia

Kapau te tau faivelenga

Muimui atu kiate Ia.
