ʻO Ka Ne Ka Toe Haʻú
ʻApasia
1. ʻO ka ne ka toe haʻú,
Hiva kau ʻāngelo,
Ekiaki ʻa māmani,
Pe ʻe fakafoʻou?
ʻE ulo ʻa e fetuʻú,
Laka he toengá;
ʻE maama he pō kotoá?
Pē puna e manupuná?
Te ne ui ʻene fānaú
Ke nau omi ki ai,
He naʻá ne folofola,
“Tuku ke nau omi kia au.”
2. ʻO ka ne ka toe haʻú,
Te u mateuteu nai.
Ke sio ki hono fofongá,
Pea lotu mo ia,
Feinga ke fai hono finangaló
Ulo ai e maamá,
Fekumi ai e kakaí.
Māmá fakalangí.
Pea ka hoko ʻa e ʻahó,
Te ne ʻofa mo pehē,
Kuo ke faivelenga;
“Haʻu ʻo nofo pea mo au.”
