Lyrics:
​​Tuga e tau vailele
I luga he tau mouga
Pihia e fiafia he Tau Afine Niue
Ko e aga ni a ia
He mahani faka-aelani
Ke fakafiafia ke he tau iki ha Niu Silani

Oi haga haga mai la
Ti kata kata mai la
Uneune mai ka e fakafiafia atu au (fiafia atu au)
Tau Afine Niue to fulufuluola
Fiafia e tau loto kua feleveia he aho nai



Omai haku tau fakahele
Ke fakafiafia tautolu
Ko e aho nei kua kotofa
Oue, oue, oue (eee)

Ko e lalolagi lahi ia hanā
Ti fakaeneene ho manatu ki ai
Kua eke mo puna ke tafe mai e malaia
Haga mai la ke lali a taua
He moui aga fiafia
Kua humelie loto he pulotu he lima

Taofi la nakai ho loto
Ti ua foaki mai e lalolagi
Ke moua ai e mafola
Ti ua lutulutu ho manatu
