ʻOku Tau Tō ʻa e Tenga

Lyrics

1. 1. ʻOku tau tō ʻa e tenga

   ʻa ia ʻoku ʻaongá.

   Naʻe tō ʻa e niʻihi,

   Tō ʻi he veʻehalá.

   Pea haʻu ʻa e fanga manu,

   ʻO nau kai ʻo ʻosi,

   Pea ngata hono ʻaonga

   ʻi he potu mamahi.

2. 2. Mokulu ʻa e niʻihi

   ʻi he potu fefeká.

   Naʻe siʻi ʻa e kelekele,

   Pea tupu leva ia.

   Naʻe ulo mai e laʻaá,

   Peá ne vela aí.

   Koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai

   ʻilo ai hano aka.

3. 3. Mokulu ʻa e niʻihi

   tō ʻi he talatalá.

   Pea tupu leva ia ʻo

   Fakakāsia ia.

   ʻE ʻikai ʻaupito ʻaonga

   Kiate kitautolu.

   ʻA e ngāue ʻa e ʻOtua

   pe ko e Siasi tapu.

4. 4. Ka naʻe tō ha niʻihi

   ki he feituʻu leleí.

   Pea tupu ai ʻa e fua,

   Pea tuʻu maʻu pē ia.

   ʻO ʻikai ʻi māmani

   Ha meʻa ke ne taʻofi.

   ʻA kitautolu mei he

   Puleʻanga hēvaní.
