Veesi1:

Matafi e tonga 'i he langi ma'a
Ka u 'ūpē au he kakala
Fala Mohokoi ko ho toka'anga
Sēnile e kako sialetafa
Mele Pusiaki ko e heilala
Pea mo e huni ‘o Matekifanga
Falahola 'o Langi Tu'ofefafa
Na'e hopo 'i 'Alo-ki-Ha'afata
'Eseni o ho'o kaloni mapa
He ko e fefine 'o e taulanga

Verse1:

Let the south wind sweep across the clear sky
While I sing a lullaby of the kakala
The mat of mohokoi is your sleeping-place
Your bedspread the plaited sialetafa
Mele Pusiaki the heilala tree
And the huni of Matekifanga
Falahola of the Langi Tu’ofefafa
That ripened at 'Alo-ki-Ha'afata
For the essence of your mapa cologne
For you are the lady of the harbour

Tau:

Siu’ilikutapu ke me'ite mu'a
Ke ke sāliote ‘i hoku uma
Ke ta 'eve'eva 'i he Hala Vuna
'O toli ho sisi tau'olunga
‘I he fisi 'o e ahi mo e vunga
Na’e fi i Ha'avaka'otua
‘O haha 'i loto Kolomotua
Pea mo e Sopu-o-Tāufa
Ta'engali koa e tūkuhua
He ko e fefine mei loto Mu'a

Chorus:

Hush, Siu’ilikutapu, do not cry
Use my shoulder as a chariot
So we two can stroll down Vuna Road
To pick flowers for your dancing girdle
Among the blossoms of the ahi and vunga
Plaited at Ha'avaka'otua
Threshed at the heart of Kolomotu’a And the Sopu-o-Taufa
These praises are by no means idle
For you are a lady of central Mu'a

Veesi2:

Singi songo e Tau'atāina
Ke ongona 'e he 'Otu Kinekina
Halatoaongo mo e fāhina
'Oku tapa ai e salaia
Ko e fa'u'anga ia e 'uhinga
Ka ta hola na'a lau ko e hia
Pea tautea noa ai kita
'E Tonga 'Eiki mo e Funga Sia
Hāngaitokelau ke kaila
Fefine Vava'u 'ilo 'e he tika

Verse2:

The singing of the Tau'ataina group Can be heard from the 'Otu Kinekina Halatoaongo and the fahina
Where flashes the sapphire
Designing place of your birth
But let us flee lest I am blamed
And punished for no fault of mine
By Tonga 'Eiki and Funga Sia
Hangaitokelau, shout out
The wise know you are a lady of Vava'u

Lyrics

Verse 1:

Matafi e Tonga ‘i he langi ma’a
Kau ‘upe au he kakala
Fala mohokoi koho toka’anga
Senile e ka ko sialetafa
Mele pusiaki koe Heilala
Pea moe huni ‘o mate ki fanga
Falahola ‘o langi tu’o fefafa
Na’e hopo ‘i ‘alo ki ha’afata
‘Eseni ‘o ho’o kaloni mapa
He koe fefine ‘oe taulanga

Chorus:

E Siu’ilikutapu ke me’ite mu’a
Keke saliote ‘i hoku uma
Ke ta ‘eve’eva ‘i he hala vuna
‘O toli ho sisi tau’olunga
‘I he fisi ‘oe ahi moe vunga
Na’e fi’i ha’a vaka’otua
‘O haha ‘i loto Kolomotu’a
Pea moe sopu ‘o taufa
Ta’engali koa e tukuhua
He koe fefine mei loto Mu’a

Verse 2:

Singisongo e tau’ataina
Ke ongona ‘e he ‘otu kinekina
Halatoaongo moe fahina
‘Oku tapa ai e safaia
Koe fa’u’anga ia e ‘uhinga
Ka ta hola na’a lau koe hia
Pea tautea noa ai kita
‘E Tonga’eiki moe fungasia
Hangai tokelau ke kaila
Fefine Vava’u ‘ilo ‘e he tika

Chorus (2x):

E Siu’ilikutapu ke me’ite mu’a
Keke saliote ‘i hoku uma
Ke ta ‘eve’eva ‘i he hala vuna
‘O toli ho sisi tau’olunga
‘I he fisi ‘oe ahi moe vunga
Na’e fi’i ha’a vaka’otua
‘O haha ‘i loto Kolomotu’a
Pea moe sopu ‘o taufa
Ta’engali koa e tukuhua
He koe fefine mei loto Mu’a

This song hits home because my mother and the late Siu’ilikutapu were very close becoming good friends especially during their evangelical work during their singles years. Rest in peace Mele Siu’ilikutapu and rest in peace mom Tupou Taanea F.
