Naʻe ʻOfa Pehē ʻa e ʻOtuá

ʻI he loto-fakaʻeiʻeiki

1. Naʻe ʻofa pehē ʻa e ʻOtuá,
Foaki ʻa e ʻAlo pē tahá,
Ko e fakaleleiʻangá,
Fou ai ki he ʻOtuá.

2. Tupu tangata ʻa e ʻOtuá,
Pea punou ʻi he ʻakaú,
Pekia ʻikai Haʻane hia,
Ke huhuʻi ai koe mo aú.

3. Kuo ulo atu Hoʻo ʻofa,
He lahi hoku moʻuá,
Feilaulau ʻo ʻeku hiá,
Pea nofo he ʻAfioná.

4. He lea mo e ngāué,
Ke fai Hono finangaló,
Fai ki ai hoku lotó,
Ako e ʻofá mei he ʻAló.

5. Ko e sākalamēnití ē
Taʻataʻa mo e sino pē
Ko e fakamoʻoni ia
Manatu ai ki hoku ʻEiki.

Fakaleá: Edward P. Kimball, 1882–1937
