ʻI he Māmani mo e Faingataʻa

 


Lyrics

  1. 1. ʻI he māmani mo

    e faingataʻá,

    ʻOku ai ʻa e paea

    mo e masivá,

    Fēfē hono lelei

    kapau te tau fai,

    ʻI he loto ʻofa

    mo e kātakí.

  2. [Chorus]

    ʻAtu ʻa e ʻofa ki he masivá

    Fakafiemālié

    Hono ngaahi ʻaho,

    ʻAtu ʻa e ʻofa ki he masivá

    Fakafiemālié

    hono ngaahi ʻaho.

  3. 2. ʻOku ai ha meʻa

    te u lava ke fai,

    Kapau te u feinga

    ʻo faimālohi,

    ʻOua te tau foʻi,

    ki he faingataʻa,

    Ka ke laka atu

    ki hotau palé.

  4. 3. ʻO ka tau mamahi

    fai ʻetau hivá,

    Fakafiefia

    hotau kāingá,

    Tuʻu ʻi he tui

    ki hotau ʻEikí,

    ʻAtu ʻa e ʻofa ki

    Heʻene fānaú.
