Hakau ni ‘oku taumulivale
‘Aonga pē he toutai faivave
‘O maheni he fakalaka naua
‘I ha ‘aho peau ‘o ‘aufua
Ka u kalo au he matua
Pē ko ha ma‘ahi ha peau kula, he!
Ka u toka‘one au ‘i Pōkula
Ko e taulanga ‘i Muifonua
Kuo u maheni mo e Hifofua
Ko e vaka ‘o Ha‘a Ngata Motu‘a
Ka u hao he fanga ki Uafu ko Vuna
‘O talia e folofola mei he Fuka, he!
Mei he sipa ‘o e ta‘anga lakalaka ‘a Siope Puli ma‘ae Fola‘osi, Kanokupolu
Ko hotau vaka ko e kalia
Ka fusi e lā pea u feia
Ka hiki e fohe pea u tongia
Mei he ta‘anga fetau tupu‘a ‘a Maama‘aepoto
To‘e loto hikilā si‘ete fiehua
Siu e manusiu fanga ‘ena he houfonua
Hoholo e lā fietuku si‘oto taula
Ka e tala ‘e hai ‘e ngofua ha tu‘u ki ‘uta
Mei he ta‘anga hiva kakala ‘a Siosaia Mataele
