Blues stay away from me
Blues why don’t you let it be
Don’t know why, we never can agree

Tears so many I can’t see
Years don’t mean a thing to me
Time goes on, and still I can’t be free

Kokono a'sousou 'äe 'e gou
Hanono noanoa la mao 'e gou
Fạtumanava he'a 'e 'ata 'is la te 'esea

Suinemafa 'otou huga 'afa'afa
Väeag ne 'ata hạ'uen se pureaga
'amnȧk ne foro sara
Titi'ȧk se 'os Gagaja

Palag ne as ta lȧg hanua a'helava
Uanefaga fisi ka se 'on sagsaga
Nā se fạ'u 'ou ma kạtu
'e hevạni 'is la mạlu.
