Muimui ʻIate Au

ʻI he loto-vaivai

1. Muimui ʻiate Au
ʻI he hala kuo tofa,
Te u manatu ki he ʻOtua.
ʻI he ʻofa ongongofua.

2. Muimui ʻIate au,
ʻE hā ngingila ange fau,
Pea hā ʻEne folofola.
Faʻahinga ʻo e tangata.

3. Ke tau kumi kiate Ia,
Pea muimui ʻi he ʻOtua,
Nonga ai pea fiefia,
Falala ki he ʻOtua.

4. Ke tau fakatatauʻi,
ʻA ʻEne ʻi he māmani,
Kuo fakatauʻatāina,
Kitaua he ʻOtua.

5. Muimui ʻoua ʻe tuka,
Sio ke mamaʻo atu
Fai he loto-tuiaki
Taʻe tokaʻi ʻa e fili.

6. He ko e pale ʻoku hā mai
Kalauni ʻo e kololia
Kapau te tau faivelenga
Muimui atu kiate Ia.
