ʻA e Kau Tau ʻa e ʻOtua

Lyrics

1. 1. ʻA e kau tau ʻa e ʻOtua,

   Fuka hele mo e pā,

   Laka mo ikuna tau

   pē mo loto-toʻá,

   ʻO fakatē ʻa e kau sō-

   tia loto tahá,

   muimui he takimuʻa

   Pea hiva fiefiá.

2. [Chorus]

   Kuo lava kuo ʻosi

   ʻEne fai e huhuʻí,

   Kuo lava kuo ʻosí

   fai ʻe Kalaisí;

   Kuo lava, kuo ʻosi, Fai ʻe Sī-

   sū ko hotau ʻEikí.

3. 2. Kuo laka mai ʻa e fili,

   Pea tau ʻa e ʻEikí,

   ʻIkai ha holomui

   tau ke ʻikunaíi,

   Ui e taki Mou tui

   pea nau fefanahí,

   pea fakaʻilongaʻi

   ʻO mavava aí.

4. 3. Ka ʻosi ʻa e fepakí,

   Tau kuo ikunaʻí,

   Hau mo fakatahaʻi

   pea melino aí,

   ʻAfio ai e Tuʻi

   ʻo e Māfimafí,

   Fakalāngilangiʻi

   Pea fiefia aí.
