Ka Faingataʻa Ho Hala Feinga

ʻI he loto-ʻapasia

1. Ka faingataʻa ho hala feingá,
Pe mālohi mai ho fili feingá,
Neongo ko e mamahi ʻeni,
ʻE ʻi ai ʻa e fiefia
ʻi he hulu ʻo ʻetau feingá.

[Chorus]

ʻOua naʻá ke foʻí

Neongo ʻa e vaivai,

Te tau fiemālie,

Kapau te tau feinga pē.

2. ʻO ka mamahi ho loto feingá
ʻE lelei ʻapongipongi feingá.
Lahi pe ʻetau mamahi,
Pea mo e ʻahiʻahi,
Kae maʻu pē ho pale feingá.

[Chorus]

ʻOua naʻá ke foʻí

Neongo ʻa e vaivai,

Te tau fiemālie,

Kapau te tau feinga pē.

3. Ka ko ha tuʻutamaki feingá.
ʻIkai pē te Ne liʻaki feingá.
ʻOku ʻikai ai ha meʻa,
Ke motuhi, ʻEne ʻofa
Meiate kitautolu feingá.

[Chorus]

ʻOua naʻá ke foʻí

Neongo ʻa e vaivai,

Te tau fiemālie,

Kapau te tau feinga pē.
