Ko e Vaʻa Ukameá

 


Lyrics

  1. 1. Fakahā mei he ʻOtuá,

    Kia Nīfai ʻi muʻá,

    Folofolá māʻoniʻoní,

    Ko e vaʻa ukameá.

  2. [Chorus]

    Puke ʻa e vaʻa ukameá;

    Mālohi mo moʻoní.

    Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá;

    Taki homau halá.

  3. 2. ʻI heʻetaú fonongá,

    Mohu ʻahiʻahiʻí,

    He ʻao fakapoʻuli,

    Mo e faingataʻa.

  4. 3. Ka hoko e ʻahiʻahi,

    Heʻetau fonongá,

    Falala he vaʻa ukameá,

    Mei ʻolungá.

  5. 4. Pea piki maʻu ki aí,

    He ʻaho kotoá,

    Lotu pea hiva fiefiá,

    Heʻetau fonongá.

  6. 5. Ko e mālōlōʻanga ē,

    Vaʻa ukameá,

    Taki atu ke tau nofó,

    Mo e kau ʻāngeló.
