Toku nuku pele ko funafuti

E moe i loto i tagata mo fafine

I aka tipatipaaga I fenua mamao

Kae tagi loa au o foki mai ki funafuti

Tupulaga funafuti (funafuti)

Se galo se puli te aso (tenei)

Loimata se gata ite tagi

Ulufonu, uie x3

E valuvalue valuvalue

E malamalaia malamalaia

E tuku ifo te makau ki kalo i avaiki

E ke kai ake ate ika ote moana x2

Te moana ... Funafuti x3
