ʻOku ʻAlu Fano ʻa e ʻOtua

 


Lyrics

  1. 1. ʻOku ʻalu fano ʻa e,

    ʻOtua he anga,

    Fakamisiteli ke fai,

    Ngāue fakaofo.

  2. 2. ʻOku fokotuʻu Hono,

    Topuvaʻe ʻi he,

    Ngaahi tahi pea heka,

    ʻI he ngaahi afa.

  3. 3. ʻOku loloto he vaí,

    Vai kilukilua,

    ʻA e poto taʻe mole,

    ʻOkú ne foaki.

  4. 4. Pea loto-mālohi ai,

    ʻA e kakai tui,

    ʻI he tāpuaki ʻofa,

    Maʻanautolu.

  5. 5. ʻOua ʻe tui vaivai

    He ngāue ʻa e ʻEiki

    Ka ke tui mālohi pē

    Ki Heʻene ʻofa.

  6. 6. Ko e ʻOtua pē ko ia

    Te Ne fakahā pē

    Pea toki mahino ai

    ʻA e meʻa kotoá.
