Lyrics

  1. 1. Lolotonga leʻó ʻa e kau

    tauhi sipi he pō

    Ne malama ʻa e maama he

    haʻu ʻa e ʻāngeló,

    Pea ʻoua ʻe manavahē,

    He ko e ongoongo

    Ki he faʻahinga ʻo e ta-

    ngata ʻa e melinó.

  2. 2. Vakai ʻe ʻaloʻi mai ʻa e

    Tama ʻo Hēvaní,

    Hako ʻo Tēvita pea hu-

    afa ko Kalaisí,

    Pea naʻe ʻaloʻi mai,

    He ʻaiʻangakaí

    Mamata mo lotu kiate

    Ia ʻa māmaní.

  3. 3. Lea ʻa e selafimi pea hā

    mai ʻa e kau ʻāngeló,

    ʻO fakafetaʻi mo nau

    hiva fakamālō,

    Kololia ki he ʻOtua

    Hono fuʻu ngeia

    Kuo ʻaloʻi ki māmani

    ʻa hotau Misaiá.
