ʻI he veʻe tahi
 Fakasiosio ki he feituʻu ʻo e laʻaa
 ʻa e kau tangata ʻo Oléron .

 Fingerless, ʻikai toe lea
 Tuku Ai ʻa e Māʻoniʻoní
 Ko e ngaahi foʻi maka ʻo e ʻOseni .

 Tuʻu malu
 Ko e Lookouts tuʻu maʻu
 ʻO e lea faingataʻa . 

 ʻAo ʻo e ʻao
 Ngaahi Hoa ʻo e Ngaahi Peaú
 ki he ngaahi feliliuaki mo e hokohoko ʻo e ngaahi meʻa kuo fakatupu .

 Mali ʻi he konga ki lalo ʻo e nofoʻanga
 Ko e Fang ʻo e ngaahi foʻi maka hinehina
 ki he mossy tokanga ʻa e ngaahi vai .

 ʻI ai, Ikuʻanga tulama
 fefeka mo e immobility
 hange ha maama fakapulipuli .

 Ko ha maama ngingila ʻoku ʻikai lava ke faitoʻo
 Tanaki Salamander mata
 ʻo e tafaʻaki langi kakato .

 Fufulu, Tanu, Tekaʻi, ʻOku ʻomi
 ʻOku ʻikai ke nau maʻu
 ʻa e Maama ʻo e kau pekia .

 ʻI he po lahi
 ʻi ha tuʻunga tuʻu maʻu
 ʻOku fakaʻosi ʻe he mata hono siʻono kiʻi laumata .

 Tuitui e loʻimata
 Pauni ʻa e hickey ʻo e fana tahi
 Ko e Heletā ʻa e ʻEikí .

 Expertly orchestrated
 Aʻusia ʻa e tuluta ʻi ʻolunga
 Ko e mama Kongo ʻo e poo .

 ʻI ai ʻi he fiefia mo e mamahi
 ʻOku ha mokosia ʻa e kulo Kulei
 ʻuha maka ʻi ha ngaahi taimi loloa .

 ʻI he fokotuʻunga
 ʻOku ʻave kitautolu ʻe ha horibilis mei he ngaahi maka
 Ko e Squeak ʻo e naʻe fakatapui ʻa .

 Ko e ulo ʻo e efuefu
 Taʻe fotunga

 Ke toe kamata foʻou
 Kau leʻo ʻi he fatongia kae tauʻataina
 Ke maʻu e nāunau ʻo e ngaahi fetuʻú .

 ʻKoeʻuhi he ʻe ʻi ai ha langi
 ʻi he fehangahangai mo e faʻa kataki taʻe tuku
 Mahaehae mo wildflowers .

 " Ko Hoku Ngaahi Tokouá, Ko Hoku Ngaahi Tokouá,
 ʻOua naʻa mole ʻa e niʻihi kehe
 ʻi he fekeʻikeʻi ʻoku ʻikai ke ʻiloa .

 Fanga kiʻi manupuna ʻi he cairn
 Manatu Fana ʻa e tahi

 ʻOku ne puke kitautolu ʻe ha mofi mahuʻinga

 Ko Hoku Laumālié
 Ko Hoku Po
 Ko hoku uaifi
 ʻi he faʻahitaʻu mafana ko ʻeni ke kolosi
 ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e kau tangata ʻo Oléron
 Fakasiosio ki he feituʻu ʻo e laʻaa
 ʻi he veʻe tahi
 Tau mavahe mei he nifo ʻo e shark lanu puluu
 ki hono vanu

 ke fakatahaʻi kitautolu
 ʻi he fonua ʻoku ʻikai faʻeleʻi pe mate ai ha taha ."
