Kuo Ui Kimoutolu
Leʻo Fakatangata
ʻI he loto-malohi
1. Kuo ui kimoutolu ke fai takimuʻá,
ʻI he pule ʻoku tapu maʻu mei he ʻOtuá,
Ke fai ʻa e malangaʻaki ʻo e kōsipelí,
ʻI he ngaahi moʻunga, ngaahi puleʻangá.
2. ʻOua ʻe hīkisia kae fai angavaivai,
ʻAki ʻa e loto-maʻá ke ngali tangata,
Hiki hake ho leʻo hangē ha piukalá,
ʻO tala ki māmani ʻe haʻu honau ʻEikí.
3. Tuku ʻa e launoa mo e angakoví,
Pea lotu taʻe tuku pea fai moʻoní,
Maʻu ʻa e Laumālié ke tataki koé,
He ʻoku ou ʻiate koe ko ho Fakamoʻuí.
4. ʻE maʻu ho tāpuaki mei homou ʻOtua,
Pea mo e nāunau kae ʻikai ko e mate
Te ke aʻu ki Saione ʻo maʻu ho totongi,
ʻE ʻikai ha mamahi ka ko e fiemālie.
