ʻI he Mālohi ʻo Moʻungá

ʻI he loto-mālohi

1. ʻI he mālohi ʻo e moʻungá,

ʻOku taʻengata

Tokoniʻi ai kotoá,

ʻA e fānau ʻa e ʻOtua,

Ko ʻIsileli kotoá,

ʻE tauʻatāiná,

[Chorus]

ʻI he mālohi ʻo e moʻunga,

ʻOku taʻengatá.

2. ʻOka tau ka moʻua he hia,

ʻO tau haʻisiá

Ko e ʻOtua hotau hūfangá,

Ke Ne fakamālohiá,

Neongo e fakatanga,

Ka te tau ikuna,

[Chorus]

ʻI he mālohi ʻo e moʻunga,

ʻOku taʻengatá.

3. Te tau hūfanga he ʻOtuá,

Hangē ha moʻunga,

Te tau hao ai kotoá,

ʻI Heʻene fuʻu ʻofá.

Hangē ha vaitafe maʻá,

Teleʻa fakanongâ,

[Chorus]

ʻI he mālohi ʻo e moʻunga,

ʻOku taʻengatá.

4. Ko e kau tauhi ʻo e māmá,

Ke moʻui ʻaongá,

Moʻui feilaulaú,

Maʻá e ʻOtua ʻofá,

Maʻu ai honau iví,

ʻI Hono māfimafí.

[Chorus]

ʻI he mālohi ʻo e moʻunga,

ʻOku taʻengatá.
