Lea ʻIta ʻOua Naʻa Tuku ke Puna Noa pē

ʻI he loto-fiemālie

1. Lea ʻita ʻoua naʻa
tuku ke puna noa pē,
Mei ha fofonga ha taha
Naʻa ʻuli ai ha loto.

[Chorus]

Tau feʻofoʻofani pehē ʻe Sīsū

talangofua ʻa e fānau ki he tamai

Tau feʻofoʻofani pehē ʻe Sīsū

Fai ki Heʻene fekau.

2. Lea ʻita fakakaukau
kovi ko e fua ʻo e loto,
Ka kuo lahi fau ʻa e kāinga
Kuo motu he lea ʻita.

[Chorus]

Tau feʻofoʻofani pehē ʻe Sīsū

talangofua ʻa e fānau ki he tamai

Tau feʻofoʻofani pehē ʻe Sīsū

Fai ki Heʻene fekau.

3. Fakalelei mo ho fili
hoʻomo kei he hala,
ʻOua ʻe tuku ke tō ʻa e
laʻā ʻi hoʻo ʻita.

[Chorus]

Tau feʻofoʻofani pehē ʻe Sīsū

talangofua ʻa e fānau ki he tamai

Tau feʻofoʻofani pehē ʻe Sīsū

Fai ki Heʻene fekau.
