Lyrics

Tongan lyrics (modern spelling) IPA transcription Literal English translation English lyrics

ʻE ʻotua māfimafi
Ko homau ʻeiki koe
Ko koe ko e falalaʻanga
Mo e ʻofa ki Tonga;

ʻAfio hifo ʻemau lotu
ʻAia ʻoku mau faí ni
Mo ke tali homau loto
ʻO maluʻi ʻa Tupou.

[ʔe ʔo.tu.a maː.fi.ma.fi]

[ko koe̯ ko‿e fa.la.la.ʔa.ŋa]
[mo e ʔo.fa ki to.ŋa]

Oh, almighty God!
You are our Lord,
It is You, the pillar
And the love to Tonga.

Look down on our prayer
That is what we do now
And may You answer our wish
To protect Tupou.

Oh almighty God above
Thou art our lord and sure defence
As your people, we trust thee
And our Tonga thou dost love

Hear our prayer for thou unseen
We know that thou hath blessed our land
Grant our earnest supplication
Guard and save Tupou, our king.
