Ko e Ngāue ke Fai

 


Lyrics

  1. 1. Ko e ngāue ke fai,

    Ko e laʻā ʻe tō,

    Kiate au mo e fāmilí,

    Ko e laʻā ʻe tō,

    ʻOku fanafana mai,

    Talangofua ki ai,

    Kakato e ngāue He

    Ko e laʻā ʻe tō.

  2. 2. Ko e ʻofa ʻaufuatō,

    Ko e laʻā ʻe tō,

    Ongona hoku leʻó,

    Ko e laʻā ʻe tō,

    Ko e tangi fakamamahi,

    Ngāue fehalaaki,

    Mole ʻa e maama ʻa e taki,

    Ko e laʻā ʻe tō.

  3. 3. Te u fononga he hala,

    Ko e laʻā ʻe tō,

    Pea te u talangofuá,

    Ko e laʻā ʻe tō,

    Fakahā ʻa e angahala,

    Pea te Ne fakamaʻá,

    Pea ʻomi tāpuaki,

    Ko e laʻā ʻe tō.
