Fai Atu ʻa e Ngāué

 


Lyrics

  1. 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.

  2. [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.

  3. 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.
