Kau Talavou ʻo Saione

 


Lyrics

  1. 1. Kau talavou ʻo Saione,

    Tuʻu loto-toʻa pē,

    Fofonga fiefia pē,

    Ke fai e ngāué,

    Manatu ki he kuohilí,

    Hanga pē ki muʻá,

    Fekita mo e faingataʻá,

    Pea tui faivelengá.

  2. 2. Tau tali ʻa e moʻoní,

    Manuki ʻa e kakaí,

    Kae fanongo mo tauhí,

    Te tau ʻikunaʻi,

    ʻAhiʻahi mei he filí,

    Ko e fakaholomuí,

    Piki he vaʻa ukameá,

    Maʻu ʻa e fiefiá.

  3. 3. Kātaki e ʻahiʻahí,

    Nofo mo e ʻamanakí,

    Ngāue ē ke tau faí,

    He ivi ʻo e moʻoni,

    ʻOfa pē mo tau ikuná,

    Hiva fiefiá,

    Kau talavou ʻo Saioné,

    Ikuna haohaoá.
