Ko Hai e Kiʻi Tamasiʻí?
Hiva Tiueti pe Kuaea Konga ʻe Ua
Hiva fakafonua mei ʻIngilani
Māmālie 90–100
Ko hai e kiʻi Tamasiʻí,
Mohe he funga ʻo Melé?
Hiva e kau ʻāngeló,
Kae leʻo kau tauhisipí.
Ko e Tuʻi ko Kalaisí,
Leʻohi ʻe he kau tauhisipí mo hivá
Mou hū kiate Ia,
Siʻi Tama ʻa Melé.
ʻAloʻi he māʻulaló,
ʻAiʻangakai ʻo e manú.
Taukapo e faiangahalá,
Siʻene tautapá.
Faʻo mo e taó,
Monuka maʻatauá;
Fakafetaʻia,
Siʻi Tama ʻa Melé.
Laipeno, koula mo e mulá;
ʻOmi kiate Ia;
Tuʻi ʻo e ngaahi tuʻí;
Fungani ʻi he ʻofa.
Hiki homou leʻó;
Tāupoʻou siʻene hiva
Fiefia he ʻaloʻí,
Siʻi Tama ʻa Melé.
