Loto ’o e Melino

Mālō e lelei, loto ‘o e melino. Sunrise over the ocean blue, matangi carries something true, palms are swaying in golden light, peace is rising with the tide. Voices calling near the sea, fonua, famili, unity, hands together side by side, island spirit be our guide. When the tide begins to rise, hope is shining in our eyes, like the reef beneath the sea, strong in unity. Loto ‘o e melino, hearts in harmony, from the mountains to the sea, we are one family. ‘Ofa lahi atu, let the voices sing, in the rhythm of the waves, hear the island ring. Even when the storm winds cry, still our faith stands strong and high, we bend like trees but never break, for tomorrow’s sake. Mālō e lelei, we stand as one, ‘ofa atu till the morning sun. Loto ‘o e melino, ocean wide and free, from the reef to highest peak, live in harmony. ‘Ofa lahi atu, let the island rise, in the rhythm of the waves we harmonize.
