Representative lyrics
Samoan (Original Language)
1. Ia silasila mai ia, Le Atua e, le Tamā. Ia matou uma lava, I lenei itula. La matou nei vi‘iga, Ia e talia mai. O lau fa‘aolataga, Ua e auina mai.
2. O lau Ekalesia, Ua matou maua mai. E iai sauniga uma, E aogā e ola ai. Le fa‘atuatua, Atoa ma le salamō. Ma le papatisoga, E maua ai loto fou.
3. Auā e maua mai ai, O lou Agaga Sa. E pei o anamua, Sa tele le aogā. E fai ma ta‘ita‘i, E fa‘atonu mai. I mea lumana‘i, Ma mea ua mavae.
4. Ua fa‘afetai lau pule, Lo matou nei Tama e. I lou alofa tele, Ua lē mafa‘atusa; Ua fa‘apupulaina, Le tonu ia i matou. Ua fa‘amagaloina, Ma liu tagata fou.
