Fakatapuʻi Au

ʻI he loto-nonga

1. Fakatapuʻi au,
ke u holi lahi.
Afe mei he kovi,
ʻo faʻa kātaki.
Ke lahi ʻa e tui,
ki he Huhuʻi.
Peá u ngāue lahi,
lotu moʻoni.

2. Ke lahi ʻa e ʻofa,
falala ai pē.
Ki he Fakamoʻui,
ke lahi ange.
ʻA e lotomamahi,
Ho kalusefai.
ʻO angavaivai,
naʻa ngalo Ia.

3. Fakamaʻa au,
maʻu ai pē.
Ke u loto melino,
holi ki ʻapi.
ʻI Ho puleʻanga,
tokoniʻi au.
Pea moʻui ai ho-
ku Laumālie.
