Fā te feti’a

Ma te manina

1. Fā te feti’a (i) te tīa’i;
Anu, pa’o te ru’i.
Ta’i ’ā’ai te mau ’ārere;
Pa’ū ni’a (i) te ’āivi.
Ta’i māere, ta’i ’ūmere,
Ta’ita’i oe, ta’i noere !
Fa’aro’o ! Vevo te ta’i !

2. Hi’o te mā ’e te ’ama,
Te feti’a mo’a ra,
Tei hopoi te ari’i māgoi
Nā te mēdēbara ra.
’Ānapa ho’i, pūai ho’i,
Marama ho’i, pura ho’i
Te feti’a mo’a ra !
