Ko e Moʻunga ʻo Saione

 


Lyrics

  1. 1. Ko e moʻunga ʻo Saione ē,

    ʻA ia kuo hakeekiná,

    Ko ha feituʻu fungani lelei,

    Kalofanga ʻo e kau liʻekiná,

    Saioné, Saioné! ʻA e māsaní,

    Ko hoʻo ngaahi fakaʻofoʻofa,

    Tō ai ʻeku ʻamanekiná.

  2. 2. Neongo ʻa e manuki mo e lumá,

    Kau poto fakaemāmaní,

    Pea tuʻu pe ʻa e laukau ʻo luma,

    Kae fiefia siʻo kakai ní,

    Saioné, Saioné! ʻA e māsaní,

    Neongo hoʻo ngaahi faingataʻá,

    Kae kehe pē ke ʻatauá.

  3. 3. ʻE fokotuʻu maʻu pē ʻa e koló,

    ʻE he nima pe ʻo Sihová,

    ʻOmi ʻa e koula ʻa e maka tasiló,

    Haʻa tuʻi ha meʻaʻofá,

    Saioné, Saioné! ʻA e māsaní,

    Fakaʻofoʻofa ho ngaahi tauá,

    Mo Ho nāunau tapuha.

  4. 4. Ko e hā ha meʻa ʻe taʻofi aú,

    Tuku pē ke u ʻalu atú,

    ʻO mamata he ʻene māsani faú,

    Mo hono temipale tapú,

    Saioné, Saioné! ʻA e māsaní,

    Te mau hū atu ʻi ho temipalé,

    Pea mau nofo ai mo Koé.
