Tokanga ki he Taimi

Lyrics

1. 1. Tokanga ki he taimi,

   Fakaʻaonga maʻu pē,

   Lotu he mōmeniti,

   He houa fulipē,

   Ngāue pē he ngoue,

   Fai ʻaho mo e pō.

   ʻOku vave ʻa e mate,

   ʻOua ʻe mālōlō.

2. 2. ʻOua maumau taimi,

   ʻOua ʻe nofo noa,

   Ngāue pē he ʻEiki,

   ʻE ʻikai taʻeaonga,

   Ka hoko pē ʻa e taimi,

   ʻE maʻu pē ʻa e fua,

   Ka haʻu pē ʻa e ʻEiki,

   Toe tuʻu fiefia.

3. 3. ʻE ʻikai tuʻutāmaki,

   ʻE he faʻa ngāué,

   Ka hoko hā mamahi,

   ʻE fiefia pē.

   Ko e fungani ʻeni,

   ʻI he kosipeli,

   ʻE ʻikai ha ngāue,

   Taʻe hā palōmesi.

4. 4. Ko e fē nai ha poto,

   Talu pē ʻa e taimi,

   Ke puke pē moʻuí ni,

   Ke lau ʻitāniti.

   Ka tā pē ʻa e houa,

   Kuo pau mei he ʻEiki,

   ʻE ʻikai toe toloi,

   Ha kiʻi mōmēniti.

5. 5. He nofo muli ʻeni,

   ʻIkai ko e ʻapi ē,

   ʻOku pau ke veteki,

   He ko e ngeʻesi pē.

   Ko e tokangaʻi maʻu,

   ʻA e monūʻiá,

   ʻA e nofo taʻengata,

   He kolo ʻo e ʻOtua.
