Ko Motutala mo Mataabo ; 

 Haangakafa ne mei ngalo; 

 Talakite fcangai mo Moho; 

 Nae tuu ai ae toa ongo, 

 Nae holo ai pe e ao.

 Namolimu e tuu potu ki uta ; 

 Nae tuu ai e hamatefua, 

 Nae uli o tai Muomua. 



Angi ae matangi tonga,

 He-a-e-i-a-ho-la ! 

 He-he-i-a-he-he-a ! 



Motutala and Mataaho; 

 Haangakafa was nearly forgotten, 

 Talakite opposite to Moho ; 

 There stood the casuarina tree that listened. 

 Over which the clouds passed in quick 

 succession. 



When blows the south wind, 



He-a-e-i-a-ho-la! 



He-he-i-a-he-he-a ! 

 Niumotuu and Nukulave, 

 And Vaomaile makes a third. 

 The island of Fanakavaaotua, 

 Which stood in the middle of the mangroves. 



When blows the south wind, 



He-a-e-i-a-ho-la ! 



He-he-i-a-he-he-a ! 

 Tongomotu and Ngofonua ! 

 Namolimu stands nearest the shore ; 

 There stood there a small sailing canoe. 

 Which sailed and struck Muomua. 



When blows the south wind, 



He-a-e-i-a-ho-la ! 



He-he-i-a-he-he-a ! 

 Muikuku which stands opposite Nahafu. 

 A delightful island is Moungatapu ; 

 There dwelt there Putufakatau, 

 His poor island given to him by the ruler. 



When blows the soutli wind. 



He-a-e-i-a-ho-la ! 



He-he-i-a-he-he-a ! 

 Nuku and Kanatea the unkind ; 

 There dwelt there Mapafietoa. 

 He fought Tui Lalotonga, 

 Who did not wait for him but fled. 



When blows the south wind, 



He-a-e-i-a-ho-la ! 



He-he-i-a-he-he-a ! 

 Counting in the island of Pakola, 

 Wliich stood, then disappeared, 

 At the end of the water of Veitoloa. 

 The dwelling place of the Tui Tonga. 



When blows the south wind, 



He-a-e-i-a-ho-la ! 



He-he-i-a-he-he-a! 

 Fakimamana we will mention 

 Because of its name — 

 Why it has no place. 

 It stood at Atele then flew away, 

 Then was thrown down in the war of 

 the gods. 



When blow's the south wind, 



He-a-e-i-a-ho-la ! 



He-he-i-a-he-he-a !
