Ke Tau Ngāue Mālohi

ʻI he ʻapasia

1. Ke tau ngāue mālohi.

Fakamālō pea fai
Ki ai maʻu ai pē,
He ngaahi tāpuaki.

2. Neongo pē ʻa e mamahi.
Kumi ki he moʻui.

Maʻu e sino tapu
Ko e fakamanatu,
Ko e fakamanatu.

3. Ongo mai fakaʻofa.
ʻA e ngaahi foaki kotoa

Ko e feilaulau ʻeni
Pea tau ʻoatu,
Ko e fakapapau.

4. ʻOkú ne haohaoa.
Mo faʻa folofola.

hi ʻa e hia.
Tau liʻaki ia
Tafoki ki he ʻEikí
Maʻu Hono laumālié.
