Fakamatala Langi

Ke fanongo mai ho'o pulotu naKae fai 'emau talatupu'aKo e talanoa talu mei mu'aMei he'etau 'uluaki matu'a.Na'e fakatupu hotau fonua'O fakapulonga mei 'olungaPea tau totolo hange ha 'unga.

Langi tuotaha langi tuouaTala ange maa Maui Motu'aKe ne teketeke ke ma'olungaKe havilivili he 'oku pupuhaPea fakamaama e fonuaPea tau tu'u hake ki 'olunga'O 'eve'eva fakamafutofuta.Langi tuotaha langi tuouaKo e langi pe 'a Maui Motu'a.

Langi tuotolu langi tuofaNofo ai 'a 'Ufia mo LataKo e langi kehe,Langi 'uha ne 'ufia e langi ma'aPea lilo ai Tapukitea'Ikai haa mai ki tu'a.

Langi tuonima langi tuo'onoNofo ai e la'a mate totoNe hange ha tui ngahomohomo'A e fetu'u 'ene fakaholo.

Langi tuofitu langi tuovalu,Ko e langi pe 'a TamutamuToki me'a lahi ange fau'Ene 'ita 'o ka longolongotau.

Langi tuohiva langi tuohongofuluKo e langi 'ape 'oku 'u'uluKae fefe 'a e talatukuMo e langi ne fulufulumotukuKe fanongo mai 'a e pulotu naKae fai 'emau talatupu'a.

The Story of the Skies

Stay awhile and listen1To the tale I tell you now2For it speaks of a time long past3From the days of the first men.4Our world5was createdAnd shrouded from aboveAnd we crawled like crabs.

The first and second skies6They speak of Maui the Old7Of how he pushed them upwardsTowards the cool breeze, for they were hotAnd thus the land was illuminatedAnd we were able to stand on twoAnd walk about with pride.The first and second skiesWhere only Maui the Old resides.8

The third and fourth skies9Is where 'Ufia10and Lataa11reside12It was a different sky,A sky of rain that covered the clear skyAnd hidden there was Tapukitea13And there, she remained.14

The fifth and sixth skies15Is where the crimson16 sunset residesIt resembles a garland of flowers17A constellation of stars.18

The seventh and eighth skies19Is where only Tamutamu20resides.A wondrous sight21Like the calm before the storm.22

The ninth and tenth skies23An ominous sky threatening with sounds of thunder24Is there an end to it?25And the sky of feathersSo listen and stay awhileTo the tale I tell you now.
