Original Tongan text English translation German translation

ʻE ʻotua māfimafi
ko homau ʻeiki koe
mko 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.

Oh almighty God above
Thou art our lord and sure defense
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
God save Tupou, our king.

Oh, almighty God,
you are our Lord,
you are the pillar
and the love for Tonga.
Look down on the prayer
we are saying
and please do our wish
and protect Tupou .
