Monū ka ko ha Monū ne Tō



Lyrics

  1. 1. Monū ka ko ha monū ne tō,

    Ne tafitonga ʻa e langi ē,

    Ne lotu siʻi kāinga ʻo pehē,

    Sapaoti ʻafio Ho fale.

  2. [Chorus]

    ʻOku mau tautapa ē,

    Toka pē Ho hōifua,

    Lingi Ho Laumālie,

    Tali hū Ho huafa.

  3. 2. Lāngilangi ʻo ʻIsileli,

    Ne toka he temipalé,

    Siʻi kāinga ne nofo Ho falé,

    Ko homau mālohinga maʻu pē.

  4. 3. ʻOku mau ʻamanaki atu,

    Sīsū ke lingi kelesí,

    Fakafonu he tāpuakí,

    Tō Hoʻo ʻofa he loto Siasí.

  5. 4. ʻOfa ke manatu maʻu pē,

    Satai ʻafio Ho falé,

    Ka mau ka tangi he hia ē,

    Tali hū mo fakamolemolé.

  6. 5. Ulo maʻu pē heni Ho maamá

    Tufaki poto Ho huafá

    Huluhulu ai pē he halá

    Ke mau ʻilo meʻa taʻe ngatá.

  7. 6. ʻOku mau fakaʻamua loto pē

    ʻE Tamai afe noa pē

    Ke ʻaonga siʻemau ngāué

    Ke hoko ko homau ʻamui ē.
