Kuo Hopo ʻa e Laʻā

ʻI he fiefia

1. Kuo hopo ʻa e laʻā Ho-
po ʻi he langi maʻá,
Kuo pau ʻene ngingila
ʻo ulo ʻi māmaní.

[Chorus]

Puke ia ke maʻu na-

ʻa hoko ʻa e poʻulí,

Pea mole ʻia koe

ʻa e ulo ʻo e laʻā.

2. Kuo ulo ʻa e laʻā Ke
tau hanga atu ki ai,
Tau faifeinga ke ta-
u maʻu hono uló.

[Chorus]

Puke ia ke maʻu na-

ʻa hoko ʻa e poʻulí,

Pea mole ʻia koe

ʻa e ulo ʻo e laʻā.

3. Kuo hoko ʻa e maama
ʻI he ulo ʻo e laʻā,
Nofo ʻi hono maama
ʻo maʻu hono uló.

[Chorus]

Puke ia ke maʻu na-

ʻa hoko ʻa e poʻulí,

Pea mole ʻia koe

ʻa e ulo ʻo e laʻā.

4. Monūʻia kinautolu
Kuo nau maʻu iá,
Te nau maʻu ʻa e maama
ngingila ʻo e laʻā.

[Chorus]

Puke ia ke maʻu na-

ʻa hoko ʻa e poʻulí,

Pea mole ʻia koe

ʻa e ulo ʻo e laʻā.
