Fili ʻa e Moʻoní

Fofonga fiefia

1. Fili ʻa e moʻoní ki ho loto ē,
Tokoni ʻe he Laumālie
Ngingila ʻEne maama maʻu pē,
ki he kakai fulipē.

[Chorus]

Tuʻu he totonu:

taki hala ko e poupou.

Hā he faitotonu.

Tāpuaki te ke maʻu.

2. Fili ʻa e moʻoní ko ho tokoni,
Ka ʻahia koe ʻe ho fili
Tonu mo e hala ʻe fakafehuʻi
tau falala ki he ʻEiki,

[Chorus]

Tuʻu he totonu:

taki hala ko e poupou.

Hā he faitotonu.

Tāpuaki te ke maʻu.

3. Fili ʻa e moʻoní mo e melino,
Ki ho laumālie kae hao
Pea ngāue velenga he ʻaho mo e pō
ko hēvani hotau kolo.

[Chorus]

Tuʻu he totonu:

taki hala ko e poupou.

Hā he faitotonu.

Tāpuaki te ke maʻu.
