ʻOtua ʻo ʻEmau Ngaahi Tamai

ʻI he loto-mālohi

1. ʻOtua ʻo ʻemau ngaahi tamaí,
Taki totonu ʻa Ho kakai,
Ki Ho nofoʻanga ʻi he langí,
Fakamālō ki hotau ʻEikí.

2. Kuo mau aʻu mai ʻi Hoʻo ʻofá,
Ki ho fonua tauʻatāiná.
Peá ke pule fakafolofolá,
Pea mau fou Ho ngaahi ʻalungá.

3. Ko e ngaahi fakamamahi lahí,
Ne Ke hoko ko homau maluʻí,
ʻO tupulaki ʻa Ho siasí
Pea mau fonu Hoʻo tāpuakí.

(Tā ʻa e konga [fakatalupité] ki muʻa he veesi kotoa pē)
