Kosipeli Ko e Maama Lelei

ʻI he loto-faʻalotu

1. Kosipeli ko e maama lelei,
Ke taki au.
ʻOku fakapoʻuli ʻa e pō,
Ke taki au,
Tuʻu maʻu pea ʻoua naʻa vaivai.
Lafi pē ki hotau Fakamoʻui.

2. ʻIkai te u ʻamanaki ke lotu,
Ke taki au.
Ne u kumi peá u ʻilo ʻa e hala,
Ke taki au,
Fiefia, pe faingataʻa.
Ko koe pē homau falalaʻanga.

3. Kuo lahi taʻu ʻa e tāpuaki,
Ke taki au.
Heʻikai te u toe vaivai,
Ke taki au,
Neongo ʻa e fakapoʻuli.
ʻEiki hā Ho ivi ke u moʻui.
