Manatu(original) |
| Oku kohu e he masani ai |
| Kehe hoki ma na sevae |
| Kave ai i hetahi fenua |
| Tagi tagi ai au mo toku kaiga |
| Taku mai pe i fea toku matua |
| Ve na puli e fakailoaina |
| Taku mai pe i fea toku tamana |
| Na galo atu i te taeao nei |
| E mamafa, e manako, e fakamatala |
| Te uiga o te folau |
| Tuku mai he tali e fakamalie ai au |
| Manatua lelei te vaitafe |
| Aku feleni e sakili mai au Fakataumafai ae he mafai |
| E au o tali ki ei E manatu fia manatu |
| Toku kaiga E fia manatu toku kaiga Nofonofo filemu lava venei |
| Ite pogiha, toku mafaufau e tiga te fanoanoa — te pogiha — te fanoanoa. |
| (translation) |
| It looks like it's normal |
| It's different with the shoes |
| Take it to another country |
| I cry and cry for my family |
| Tell me where my parents are |
| Have you ever been informed |
| Tell me where my father is |
| I forgot this morning |
| It’s heavy, it’s eager, it’s descriptive |
| It means to sail |
| Give me an answer that satisfies me |
| Remember the river |
| My flowers are from your Trials but you can |
| Here are the key answers |
| My family My family wants to think Sit still here |
| Feeling dark, my mind feels sad - dark - sad. |
