Te Namo

Fakateletele i te namo ki iutaFakatu pehe taumuliavaTe Lahu, Te Tufa, Te Loto, Te AlohiKikila i tamaliki ma tupu laga

He ma peheHe ma pehe Tokelau

Fesili ake pe fano ki feaSaloa na fetu kua motoki

Te gali ote aso teneiTe matagi kua agiagi maiManulele kua eva ki lugaI te gali ote aso teneiFano atu ki luga o te taiFakateletele ai toku vakaTe gali ote aso teneiTe matagi kua agiagi mai

Ooh te namoTe matagiOoh te namo

Ma tamalikiOoh te namoManulele

The Lagoon

Come with me1across the lagoon to the shoresWe'll go over to the other side2To the piers3, aligned, within, intertwined4Look at the children, see how they grow.

We goWe go to Tokelau

When will our time come?Thank the shooting stars

The day approachesThe storm gathers5Birds flying to safety6In the coming of the dayThey fly above the seaCome with me to my shipThe day approachesThe storm gathers.

Behold!7The lagoonThe storms!Behold! The lagoon

Our childrenBehold! The lagoonThe beasts8of the air.
