Laka Atu ʻe Kāinga ki he Tau

Lyrics

1. 1. Laka atu ʻe kā-

   inga ki he tau,

   ʻA hotau ʻOtua

   Mo hono ʻAlo.

   Ke fakamoʻui

   ʻA kitautolu.

   Mei he ngaahi

   hia ʻo māmani,

2. [Chorus]

   Laka atu ʻe kā-

   inga ki he tau

   ʻA hotau ʻOtua

   mo hono ʻAlo.

3. 2. Lotu ki he ʻOtua

   ko e Tamai,

   Ke poupou mai ai

   Kia kitautolu.

   ʻI he faingataʻa

   ʻO e moʻuí ni

   Tau tuʻu maʻu he

   hala totonu,

4. 3. Hanga pē ki muʻa

   ki hotau ʻEiki,

   ʻA ia naʻe hala

   ʻI Kālevale.

   Koeʻuhi pē ko

   Kitautolu.

   Ko e kau angahala

   pē ʻi mamani,

5. 4. Laka hoku kāinga

   ʻo hiva fiefia

   Pea tau leʻo taha

   ʻI he ʻikuna.

   Tau fakafetaʻi kia

   Sīsū hotau Haú.

   Ke fai ʻo laui taʻu

   ʻa e kakai kotoa
