1. Faitotonu neongo ʻa e lumá,
ʻO tali ange ʻa e laumālie.
Ko e ʻOtua e ko ʻetau maama
Te Ne fakafiemālie.
[Chorus]
Faitotonu kuo foa ʻa e ata.
Ko e ʻaho ē ka ulo lahi.
Hanga hake kuo hopo ʻa e laʻā,
ʻE mole atu ʻa e mamahi.
2. Faitotonu ʻoua ʻe tuku,
Koula e kuo hā mei langi.
Sihova e holo ʻa e loʻimata
ʻOua naʻa hanga ki mui.
[Chorus]
Faitotonu kuo foa ʻa e ata.
Ko e ʻaho ē ka ulo lahi.
Hanga hake kuo hopo ʻa e laʻā,
ʻE mole atu ʻa e mamahi.
3. Faitotonu ʻa e pō ē ka hoko,
ʻOua ʻe vaivai kae laka atu.
Ngāue hake kei toe ʻa e ʻaho
Sino e meʻa ke totonu.
[Chorus]
Faitotonu kuo foa ʻa e ata.
Ko e ʻaho ē ka ulo lahi.
Hanga hake kuo hopo ʻa e laʻā,
ʻE mole atu ʻa e mamahi.
