Tonga

[Intro] Across the ocean wide, feel the gentle breeze, In the South Pacific, where the islands tease. [Verse 1] Welcome to Tonga, in the sunlit sea, Where coral reefs flourish, and palm trees sway free. Nuku'alofa stands, the heart of our land, With stories of the past etched in grains of sand. [Pre-Chorus] From Ha'apai to Vava'u, the islands sing, A kingdom of nature, where the whales take wing. [Chorus] Isles of the friendly waves, where smiles never fade, Tonga's embrace, through the ocean's cascade. Hear the lali call, feel the warmth in it all, In the realm of the kin, where hearts stand tall. [Verse 2] Long before explorers crossed the endless blue, Tongan mariners knew the ocean's hue. With tapa cloth we weave, and dances so grand, Our traditions and culture in every hand. [Chorus] Isles of the friendly waves, where smiles never fade, Tonga's embrace, through the ocean's cascade. Hear the lali call, feel the warmth in it all, In the realm of the kin, where hearts stand tall. [Bridge] In the feast of ʻumu, flavors delight, From 'ota ika to lu pulu's first bite. Voices in harmony tell tales of the past, Of kings and warriors, the memories last. [Final Chorus] Isles of the friendly waves, where smiles never fade, Tonga's embrace, through the ocean's cascade. Hear the lali call, feel the warmth in it all, In the realm of the kin, where hearts stand tall. [Outro] So come to Tonga, where the ocean's song plays, And let the beauty guide you through the days.
