E o le fana ta’avili ua ‘ote’ote mai
Ua tula’i si Ali’i ma ua fai mai
Samoa e ia to’a le tai
tali i lagi so ta ‘ai
Faitalia Peretania e

[TALI]
Aua le kovana e ua e fa’afiti
E te le iloaina o se fanata’avili
Ae molimau tamaiti ma le afafine o Filisi
O oe lava na e fa’apa o le fanata’avili
Tamasese ua e tumalo
Samoa lea nei faalolo
Ua masa’a lou toto i le sailiga o se tamaloa
lauina lea ma lou palefuiono
Samoa e ia e lototele
Tula’i maia ae aua e te fefe
E ui ina faigata lenei mea
Ae tatou taofi mai pea
Tusa lava pe faatafea
