Naʻe ʻAfioʻi pē ʻe Sīsū

Kuo ofi ʻenau māvae,
Naʻá Ne tala ki he kau akó,
Ke ʻoua te nau mamahí.

[Chorus]

ʻO ka tau ka māvae

ʻofa ke tau toe fakataha

ʻI he kolo ʻo e ʻOtuá

ʻI he kolo ko Hēvani.

2. Naʻá Ne talaʻofa ʻo pehē,
Te u ʻalu ki he Tamai,
ʻO teuteu ha nofoʻanga lahí,
Ke tau fakataha ki ai.

[Chorus]

ʻO ka tau ka māvae

ʻofa ke tau toe fakataha

ʻI he kolo ʻo e ʻOtuá

ʻI he kolo ko Hēvani.

3. ʻO ka tau ka tutuku ʻi hení,
Ke tau māvae ʻi he ʻEikí,
Pea tau maʻu ʻa e talaʻofá,
Ko e moʻui taʻe ngatá.

[Chorus]

ʻO ka tau ka māvae

ʻofa ke tau toe fakataha

ʻI he kolo ʻo e ʻOtuá

ʻI he kolo ko Hēvani.

4. Te tau toe fakataha ʻafē,
ʻI he kolo ʻo e ʻOtuá,
ʻO ka ʻosi ʻa e nofo taimí,
Te tau ʻi he kolo ʻofá.

[Chorus]

ʻO ka tau ka māvae

ʻofa ke tau toe fakataha

ʻI he kolo ʻo e ʻOtuá

ʻI he kolo ko Hēvani.

6. ʻE Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní,
Ke ke angi ʻi Ho Siasí,
Fakamoʻoni ʻa e palōmesí
Te Ne hoko ko e fetongí.

5. ʻEiki ke Ke tokoni mai
Ki ho kakai vaivai;
Ke mau tuʻu maʻu ʻi he tuí,
Ke ʻoua naʻa mau hē.

[Chorus]

ʻO ka tau ka māvae

ʻofa ke tau toe fakataha

ʻI he kolo ʻo e ʻOtuá

ʻI he kolo ko Hēvani.

[Chorus]

ʻO ka tau ka māvae

ʻofa ke tau toe fakataha

ʻI he kolo ʻo e ʻOtuá

ʻI he kolo ko Hēvani.
