Mālohi

Hangē pē ko ʻĒsetá,

tauhi e fekaú,

Lototoʻa mo ngāue he tuí

palani e Tamaí.

Hangē pē ko Nīfaí,

faitāpuekiná,

Maluʻi mo fakaʻapaʻapaʻi

palani e Tamaí.

Hangē pē ko ʻĀpisí

tufaki e māmá.

Fakahā e ongoongoleleí.

Tui ki he ʻEikí.

Hangē ko Molonaí,

ʻikai lotofoʻí.

Feinga ke u anga fakaʻapaʻapa.

Hiki hake e fuká.

Kuonga ʻeni,

ke tau teuteu.

Ko e folofolá.

Vahevahe atú.
