SilentRebel83 - The Seven Beasts (Tongan translation)
English
The Seven Beasts
I follow the ancient path
of bison hooves imprinted on sacred hills
The spider, who heeds my distress,
Stitches my wounds with her palps of needles and her silvery silk
I hear a procession of elephants
Their majesty, our reverence; their memory, our moral compass
The dragonfly tells me that it is safe here
I take in a sip from the river
In the birth of night, the owl wards me from danger
Its eyes ever present as talons grasp my shoulder
The lone wolf approaches when I am led astray
His howl directs my gaze
And the Great Bear, whose hide shrouds within seven stars,
Guides me to the unwavering star

Ko e Fangamanu Tokofitu
Ku muimui he hala mu'a atu
'O e va'etopu fanga paisone 'i ngaahi tafungofunga toputapu.
Ko e hina, 'a ia 'oku tali 'eku ui fakatokoni
Ne tuitui 'eku kafo mo 'ene va'e matamata hui mo 'ene filo siliva.
Ku fanongo ha fotu fanga 'elefaanite
Ko honau naanau, ko ia ko hotau 'apa'apa; pea ko honau manatua, ko ia ko hotau kapasa 'ilo angatonu.
Ko e kijikiji 'oku ne tala mai 'oku malu heni
Ku inu ha ki'i vai mei he vaitafe.
'I he kamata 'o e po'uli, malu'i mai he lulu mei he tu'utaamaki
Ko hono mata ia 'oku leohi ma'u pe ka puke ma'u 'ene va'e ki hoku uma.
Ha'u 'e he uolofe ngaongao 'i ho'oku hee
Ko hono mamata 'oku fakahanga 'eku jio.
Pea ko e Peaa Lahi, 'a ia ia 'oku fufuu'i 'ene kili mo e pupunga fetu'u e fitu
Ne tataki au ki he fetu'u ta'engaaue.
