sau loa oe, e nofo mai o'u tafatafa,
o le amataga, o si ta mafutaga,
o le lumana'i o lo'o saunia mai,
mo tatou, uma e va'ai.
mo nai ou uso
se'i fa'amagalo mai
fa'amolemole fa'agalo ita.
(REPEAT)
TWO:
o oe lo'u uso, o lea oute fa'atoese ai,
aua ou iloa, ua na o oe na te fa'amagalo mai,
o le lumana'i, o lo'o saunia mai,
mo tatou, uma e va'ai.
