Lau ʻEni ko e Tofiʻa

Lyrics

1. 1. Lau ʻeni ko e tofiʻa

   Neongo hono lesisita,

   Kuo pau ke vetekina

   Fai ke toʻo meiate kita

   Ko e tofiʻa ʻi loto langi,

   Fungani masani

   Nofo ai pea ʻe tolonga

   Taʻengata lauikuonga.

2. 2. Neongo ʻa hono teuʻi

   Puke ia ʻe māmani,

   He ʻokú ke ʻiloʻi ʻeni

   Ko e tofiʻa ʻo e afi

   Te u ʻi muʻa ho loto,

   Ki he hū ki he kolo

   ʻOku lau ʻe he poto

   Ko e tofiʻa ʻoku taʻe popo.

3. 3. Lau ʻeni ko e ʻapi

   Neongo ʻene masani,

   Faingofua hono hala

   Fakatau, atu ki mala

   ʻOua muʻa ʻe sio ki ʻapi,

   ʻOku fonu mamahi

   Sio atu pē ki muʻa

   Kia Sīsū he moʻunga.

4. 4. Tama ē ke ke vakai

   Hoʻo nofo ʻoku fai,

   Ofi pē ke ngata mai

   ʻA e nofo ʻi māmani

   ʻOua muʻa e nofo lata,

   Maama faingataʻa

   Lotu pē mataʻi koloa

   Talanoa he folofola.
