Kapau te Tau Feʻofoʻofani
ʻI he loto-fakamātoato
1. Kapau te tau feʻofoʻofani,
Mo tau fetokoniʻakí,
ʻA e kāinga mo e kaungāʻapí,
ʻE fiefia ai ʻa e Tamaí,
Ka ʻita pē loto-mamahí,
Kātaki mo fiemālié,
ʻO fai māmālie hoʻo lea,
Hoko ko e taki maamá.
[Chorus]
Ko e angamalū ko e fungani lelei,
ʻE maʻu ʻa e tāpuakí,
Kapau te tau feʻofoʻofaní,
ʻE fiefia ai ʻa e Tamaí.
2. Hā ʻa e māmá he funga moʻungá,
ʻĀ hake pea fiefiá,
Hangē ko e tafe ʻa e faunitení,
ʻEne tafe fiemālié,
Fakahā ʻi he lea ʻofá,
ʻI he fakakaumeʻá
Kae fekita he fiefiá,
Ko e ʻofa fungani iá.
[Chorus]
Ko e angamalū ko e fungani lelei,
ʻE maʻu ʻa e tāpuakí,
Kapau te tau feʻofoʻofaní,
ʻE fiefia ai ʻa e Tamaí.
