Huhuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli

Māmālie

1. Huhuʻi ʻo ʻIsi-
leli ko e maama,
Tau kole mo hū kiate Ia.
ʻI he ʻahó ni,
Maama ʻa e poʻuli,
Ko hotau ʻEiki ko e Tuʻi.

2. ʻE hāʻele mai ke
fakatahaʻi,
Kotoa ʻEne fanga sipi.
Ki Saione,
Nofo mo e ʻEiki,
Fiefia mo e Tamai.

3. ʻE fēfē ʻeku tau-
tapa he hia,
ʻO kaú ka hē ʻi toafa,
Ko e fili ʻena,

Ko ʻIsileli fiefia.

4. Fānau ʻo Saione

He vahehongofulu pē,
Kuo hā pea ʻoua,
Naʻa manavahē,
Ko e kolo maʻataua pē.

5. Huhuʻi ʻa e maama

Ki hoku laumālié ni
Hoku hala ke

Tāpuakiʻi au ʻEiki.

6. Hōsana ʻa e kau ʻā-
ngelo he langí.
ʻO nau tala ki māmaní.
Lau ʻitāniti

Fai pea mo e fakafetaʻi.
