Hiva 35

Founga Fungani ʻa ʻOfá

(1 Kolinito 13)

1. Koeʻuhi ʻOtua ko ʻofa,

Tala ke fakahāʻi

Founga fungani ʻa ʻofá,

ʻOtuá mo kaungāʻapí.

Neongo ʻa tui mo ʻilo,

Lava lea mo kikite,

ʻO ka ʻikai ha ʻofa,

He maumau taimi pē.

2. Tau kātaki fakatanga,

Lahi ʻetau malanga;

Fēfē haʻane ʻaonga

ʻO ka fai taʻemaʻa?

ʻOfá, ʻoku mokomoko,

Anga-lelei, kātaki;

ʻIkai meheka pe sani,

ʻOkú ne teokalati.

3. Ko ʻofa ʻikai ke ʻita,

Pe saiʻia he kovi.

ʻOku mālohi maʻu pē,

Mo fiefia he leleí.

Tui, ʻamanaki, ʻofa,

ʻOku nau tolonga;

Ka ʻoku fungani taha

ʻOfa fakaʻotuá.
