1. Lolotonga ʻeku nofó,
Mūnoa he poʻuli,
Puna mai ʻa e ʻāngelo,
ʻOmi ʻa e maama.

[Chorus]

ʻIkai lava fakahā pē,

Kuo toe ulo ʻa e maama,

ʻO ne maama maʻu pē ki

2. Lolotonga ʻeku nofó,
Taufā he poʻuli,
ʻIloange kuo ulo,
ʻA e maama moʻoni.

ʻIkai lava fakahā pē,

Kuo toe ulo ʻa e maama,

ʻO ne maama maʻu pē ki

3. Lolotonga ʻeku nofó,
Mohe he poʻuli,
Pea ne u toe mamata,
He maama ne ʻave.

[Chorus]

ʻIkai lava fakahā pē,

Kuo toe ulo ʻa e maama,

ʻO ne maama maʻu pē ki

4. Lolotonga ʻeku nofó,
Ngāue he poʻuli,
Ne ulo mai ʻa e maama,
Hono Laumālie.

[Chorus]

ʻIkai lava fakahā pē,

Kuo toe ulo ʻa e maama,

ʻO ne maama maʻu pē ki

hoku laumālie.
