Kuo Toe Tuʻu

ʻI he loto-fakaʻeiʻeiki

1. Kuo toe tuʻu kuo toe tuʻu,
Fakahā ʻa e fiefia,
Naʻá Ne ʻaho tolu he
Fale fakapopula,
Kuo ikuna ʻa e mate.
Fai hotau vete ange.

2. Ke tau fakalāngilangi,
Maʻalali ʻo e ʻEiki,
Mole ʻa e fakapoʻuli
Hā mai ʻa e pongipongi,
Hā mei he hahake.
Fakaʻilonga kuó Ne pule.

3. Kuo toe tuʻu kuo toe tuʻu,
Peá Ne fakaava,
Tauʻatāina he haʻi
Mo e mate malaʻia,
Ha langi lanu maʻa.
Fonu he fiefia.
