1. Ngaahi talanoa ʻi he Tohi Molomoná.
Kau ki he hisitōlia ʻo e kau Leimaná.

Maʻu fonua ʻoka tau nofo angatonú.
2. Feʻiloaki kau Leimaná mo e kau kumi tauʻatāiná.
Tali fiefia fonuá kau fie tauʻatāiná.

Maʻu fonua ʻoka tau nofo angatonú.
3. ʻAlamā angatuʻu fakafepakiʻi e moʻoní

Taaʻi kae sio fanga tokouá, ke akoʻi ai
Peá ne malanga anga-tonu ʻi he fonuá
4. ʻOua naʻa ngalo ʻApinatai tuʻu he ʻao ʻo e Tuʻí
Haʻiʻaki e seini ko ʻene ʻomi e kosipelí
Ka ne fakaʻikaiʻi e tukuakiʻi ʻe he tuʻí
Ka naʻá ne mateakiʻi ʻo mate anga-tonú
5. ʻĀmoni ko e faifekau ki he kau Leimaná
Tauhi-sipi tuʻi Lāmonaí he ʻaho mo e pō
Fakahaofi e sipí he loto-toʻa mei he kaihaʻá
Ne ako ai ke ne moʻui anga-tonú
6. Foha ʻe uaafe ʻo e ʻOtuá ui ke kau he taú
Laka ko e kau tau ki he malaʻe taú
Nau tui ko Kalaisi ʻe maluʻi kinautolú
Ne nau ako ai ke moʻui anga-tonú
7. Samuela ko e Leimana ʻi he funga ʻā
Fakatokanga mo e fakatomala hono misioná
ʻIkai tau ai ngahaú ko ʻene kau mo e ʻOtuá
Ko ia ne malanga anga-tonu ʻi he fonuá
8. (Māmālie ange mo ʻapasia ange)
Hili e kalusefai ʻEikí maʻau mo aú
Ne akoʻi e moʻoní ki he fie tauʻatāiná
Hili hono nimá ʻo tāpuakiʻi e fānaú
Pea nau nofo anga-tonu ʻi he fonuá
