O Mai, Outou o le ‘Au Pa‘ia
Vi‘iga
(1994, 2016 ed.), 17
1. O mai, o mai, outou le ‘AuPa‘ia; Galulue fiafia.E ui ina mata faigata, O le a manuia.Ua sili lava le taumafai; ia tia‘i ia le fa‘avaivai.Ae faia pea ma fiafia. Ua lelei! Ua lelei!
2. Tou te manatu ea ua faigata? E leai, ua lelei.Pe maua ea se taui e lelei, Pe a solomuli nei?Ia tatou tau finafinau o le Atua tatou te ‘au,Ma tatou ta‘u atu ai. Ua lelei! Ua lelei!
3. E iai se nu‘u ua saunia e le Atua, Mo tatou i sisifo.E le iai ni e fa‘asaua mai; Manuia ai tatou.Tatou te lagi ma pese ai vi‘iga i lo tatou Matai,Ma lagi ai o upu nei: Ua lelei! Ua lelei!
4. A tatou oti ae le‘i au i ai, Ua lelei, fa‘afetai!E le toe iai ni puapuaga, Ae mau ma e mama.Afai e ola pea i tatou, e va‘ai i lena nu‘u fou,Ia alalaga fiafia: Ua lelei! Ua lelei!
