Kuo Hopo ʻa e Laʻā



Lyrics

  1. 1. Kuo hopo ʻa e laʻā Ho-

    po ʻi he langi maʻá,

    Kuo pau ʻene ngingila

    ʻo ulo ʻi māmaní.

  2. [Chorus]

    Puke ia ke maʻu na-

    ʻa hoko ʻa e poʻulí,

    Pea mole ʻia koe

    ʻa e ulo ʻo e laʻā.

  3. 2. Kuo ulo ʻa e laʻā Ke

    tau hanga atu ki ai,

    Tau faifeinga ke ta-

    u maʻu hono uló.

  4. 3. Kuo hoko ʻa e maama

    ʻI he ulo ʻo e laʻā,

    Nofo ʻi hono maama

    ʻo maʻu hono uló.

  5. 4. Monūʻia kinautolu

    Kuo nau maʻu iá,

    Te nau maʻu ʻa e maama

    ngingila ʻo e laʻā.
