Lyrics

  1. 1. Ne u ongoʻi ʻa e ngaahi fa-

    fangú he Kilisimasi,

    Fiefia ʻa māmani he, Me-

    lino kuo ʻi Hono kakaí.

  2. 2. Pehē ʻa e ngaahi taua

    ʻo e fafangu heʻenau tā,

    Kuo ʻi māmani ʻa e,

    Melino ʻi Hono kakaí.

  3. 3. Mapelu ʻa hoku ʻulu

    mole pea mo e ʻamanakí,

    Fehiʻa mo e manuki,

    Melino ʻi Hono kakaí.

  4. 4. Toe ongo mai ʻa e fafangú

    ʻOtua moʻui Iá,

    Ikunaʻi ʻa e kovi,

    Melino ʻi Hono kakaí.

  5. 5. Fiefia ʻa e kakai kotoá,

    Hoko mai ʻa e ʻaho,

    Kalanga hivá fiefia,

    Melino ʻi hono kakaí.
