ʻOku ʻAlu Fano ʻa e ʻOtua

Fakamisiteli ke fai,
Ngāue fakaofo.

2. ʻOku fokotuʻu Hono,
Topuvaʻe ʻi he,
Ngaahi tahi pea heka,
ʻI he ngaahi afa.

3. ʻOku loloto he vaí,
Vai kilukilua,
ʻA e poto taʻe mole,
ʻOkú ne foaki.

4. Pea loto-mālohi ai,

Maʻanautolu.

5. ʻOua ʻe tui vaivai
He ngāue ʻa e ʻEiki
Ka ke tui mālohi pē
Ki Heʻene ʻofa.

6. Ko e ʻOtua pē ko ia
Te Ne fakahā pē
Pea toki mahino ai
ʻA e meʻa kotoá.
