Mou Omi ʻo Fanongoa
ʻI he fiefia
1. Mou omi ʻo fanongoá,
Leʻo ʻo e palōfitá.
Ko e leʻo ia ʻo e ʻOtua,
Kalanga fiefiá.
Kuo ʻiloʻi honau hala,
Taʻe faʻa liliuá.
Ko e hala e kuo nau tā,
Ke laui kuongá.
2. ʻI he taʻe tui mo e fakahē,
Ne mole ʻa e moʻoní.
ʻO mafola ʻa e poʻuli,
Kāpui ʻa e māmaní.
Ka kuo toe fakafoki mai,
ʻA e māma moʻoní.
ʻA e hala ʻoku fāsiʻí,
ʻIlo ʻe he māʻoniʻoní.
3. Ne nau falala noa pē,
Kae ngalo honau ʻOtuá.
ʻO nau fakaʻikaiʻi,
ʻA Sīsū Kalaisí.
Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá,
Ke talangofuá.
Pea muimui ai ʻa e kakai tui,
ʻO e ngaahi ʻaho ní.
4. Tokanga ki he maama mo e moʻoni,
Tafe mei he matavaí.
Tauhi ʻEne fono kotoá,
Ke maʻu e hakeakiʻí.
Ongo mai ʻa e talá,
Fakafiefiá.
Haʻu ʻa e kau talangofuá,
ʻO maʻu ʻa e kalauní.
