Mou Haʻu Kāinga

Matamataʻeiki

1. Mou haʻu kāinga,
Ke tau fiefia,
Kuo ʻaloʻi mai ʻi Pētelihemá.
Haʻu ʻo mamata,
He Tuʻi ʻo e maamá.

[Chorus]

Mou omi ke tau lotu,

Mou omi ke tau hū

ki he ʻEikí.

2. Kau ʻāngelo hiva,
Hiva fiefia,
Kau hiva fiefia ʻi he langi ná.
ʻE kolōlia,
ʻAlo ʻo e ʻOtuá.

[Chorus]

Mou omi ke tau lotu,

Mou omi ke tau hū

Ki he ʻEikí.

3. Tuku kolōlia,
Kuo ʻaloʻi mai,
ʻA Sīsū Kalaisi he ʻaiʻangakaí.
ʻAlo ʻo e ʻOtuá,
Hoko ʻo tangatá,

[Chorus]

Mou omi ke tau lotu,

Mou omi ke tau hū

Ki he ʻEikí.
