1. ʻA kimoutolu ʻa e kau faifekaú.
ʻO ʻIsileli haʻu ʻo tokoni.
Kumi ʻa e fanga sipi hē ʻIsileli.
Mei Pāpilone ʻave ki Saione.
[Chorus]
Pāpilone, Pāpilone nofo ā koe,
Kau foki au ki hoku fonua.
2. Lahi ʻa e taʻu siʻi ʻa e kau ngāue.
Ka ʻo kapau te tau loto-taha pē.
Tānaki ʻa e uite tuku ʻa e tea.
Fakatauʻatāinaʻi ʻa e pōpula.
[Chorus]
Pāpilone, Pāpilone nofo ā koe,
Kau foki au ki hoku fonua.
3. Tau ō ki he kau masiva hangē ko Sīsū.

Holo honau loʻimata pea maʻu ʻo ʻomi.
ʻA kinautolu ʻave ki Saione.
[Chorus]
Pāpilone, Pāpilone nofo ā koe,
Kau foki au ki hoku fonua.
4. Tau ʻaʻahi ki he noa kui mo e tuli.
ʻO ʻave ki ai ʻEne kōsipeli.
Ke fakafiefia ʻaki honau loto.
Mo teuʻi kinautolu ki he tānaki.
[Chorus]
Pāpilone, Pāpilone nofo ā koe,
Kau foki au ki hoku fonua.
