4. Keitahi mo Falefilimoto, 

 Langa siu e folau aalo. 



5. Fine taumelo hake ki Matoto, 

 Ko siene mata mahina hopo. 



6. Fine tangi loi i Utumalama 

 Hukena he tokelau lafalafa. 



7. Ka ko Tuniloa ene tafe 



I lalo he matanga o Tele. 



8. Oneone o Fangamofuike, 

 Nae tongione nai fefine. 



9. E fefine kumi ho lelei koe, 

 He oku to vale i he too fohe : 

 Ha mea e ao ai ho loto 



He oku te uli taengaholo.

 He nae ikai teu mahaloa 

 Ha foou oku bu vosa loa ;

Ka ta eveeva ki Fonongatoa, 

 O tufi he heamapo i Holonga.

 Ko lupc ni kuo pakakaua; 

 Tuu leva o tali ke ne heua. 



4. Keitahi and Falefilimoto, 

 Originated a rowing race. 



5. Woman full grown climbed to Matoto, 

 To watch the moon rise. 



6. Woman pretending to cry at Utumalama 

 Was blown flat by the north wind. 



7. But it was Tuniloa flowing by 

 Below the cliff of Tele. 



8. The sand of the beach Fangamofuike, 

 Perhaps the woman was making marks 



on the sand. 



9. O woman seek your own good. 



As I do not know how to use an oar: 

 Do anything that will satisfy your mind 

 Because I am steering without making 

 headway. 



10. Threaded by an expert and then 



brought. 

 Plucked by a stranger and one not 



accustomed, 

 Threaded by an expert then brought. 

 Tell the bird that talks nonsense. 

 Threaded by an expert and then 



brought. 

 Do not be bad minded, 

 When you hear any reports. 

 I did not think 

 I would appear again to speak of the 



past; 

 That was the report of a stranger. 

 One familiar with the weather shore of 



Tonga. 

 Oh how I would like to meet you at 



Maluhola 

 Let us two go for a walk to Fonongatoa, 

 And collect the vain-boasting hea flower 



at Holonga. 

 When it is dark we will sleep at Feletoa, 

 And have girdles of the si leaves. 

 Oh how I love the garland of falahola 



flowers. 

 Which was taken off and left by the 



Jong pillow : 

 Cover Otaongo or Polopola 

 With its pigment and give it to her. 

 The way of the woman is back to the 



land 

 When she once sees extended the 

 String that tics the bird to tlie roost. 

 The pigeon evades the boundary fence; 

 Stand and receive because it is caught.
