Fakaʻofa kiate au
Ko si'ono tataki atu
Ke tutuki ki he ʻakau
Ka naʻe ʻikai si'ane hanu
Tau tuʻu hake muʻa ʻo ʻalu
Kia Sisu he funga 'akau
Ne pekia ʻi ai ʻa e hau
Ko e fai hotau fakatau
Sisu ʻe ne ke ongosia
He mamafa ʻemau hia
Ne ʻikai te ke hanu pe ki he
Ka ke ʻofa heʻemau mate
Tangi ʻa siʻoku lotu
He lavae ne ai ki ho sino
Koe faʻo e fa moe tao
Tafe ai ʻa siʻono toto
Tau tuʻu hake muʻa ʻo alu
Kia Sisu he funga ʻakau
Ne ʻikai ke ke hanu pe ki he
Koe fai hotau fakatau
Sisu ne ke ongosia
He mamafa ʻemau hia
Ne ʻikai te ke hanu pe ki he
Ka ke ʻofa heʻemau mate.
