Siʻoku Kāinga ke Mou Tokanga
ʻI he loto-mālohi
1. Siʻoku kāinga ke mou tokanga,
Kuo pau ke hoko mai ʻa e fakatanga,
Sio atu ki muʻa ki hotau ʻOtua,
Naʻe hāʻele mai pea kalusefai,
Ko e sīpinga ia mo e hala ke tau fou ai.
[Chorus]
ʻOua ʻe kalofa-
ki ʻa ʻeta moʻuí
Mei he fakatanga
kae tāpuaki.
2. Ko Sitiveni ne tolomakaʻi,
Ko Filipe ʻena ne kalusefai,
Mo Paanepasa tolo ʻaki e maka,
ʻAnitelū mo Pita ne kalusefai,
Mo Siosefa Sāmita ne nau fanaʻi.
[Chorus]
ʻOua ʻe kalofa-
ki ʻa ʻeta moʻuí
Mei he fakatanga
kae tāpuaki.
3. Lau ki ai ʻa Paula hono fakatangaʻi,
Ne nau taaʻi pea tolomakaʻi,
Taki tolungofulu mā hiva hono taaʻi,
Pea liunga nima ʻa e taa ne ʻai,
Nofo ʻi he tahi pō mo e ʻaho he mamahi.
[Chorus]
ʻOua ʻe kalofa-
ki ʻa ʻeta moʻuí
Mei he fakatanga
kae tāpuaki.
4. Naʻá Ne talamai ke mou vakai,
Kuo pau ke hoko ʻa e ngaahi mamahi,
ʻE fakatangaʻi pe ʻa Hono kakaí,
ʻE lumaʻi pea manukiʻi ʻe he kakai,
Kata fiefia hopohopo he ʻaho ko ia.
[Chorus]
ʻOua ʻe kalofa-
ki ʻa ʻeta moʻuí
Mei he fakatanga
kae tāpuaki.
5. Siʻi kāingalotu ke mou tokanga
ʻOua te ta ofo ko hota tufakanga
Lau ki ai ʻa Paula ko e anga faka-ʻOtua
Ke ʻilo ʻa e fakatanga mo e luma
Kae lahi ʻa e kakai kuo tūkia ai.
[Chorus]
ʻOua ʻe kalofa-
ki ʻa ʻeta moʻuí
Mei he fakatanga
kae tāpuaki.
