Ha’ele ki Pilitania
Compose by Peni Tutu’ila Malupō of Makahokovalu
First Recorded in Fangufangu Mana ‘O Fusi Pala String Band

Hāʻele ki Pilitānia (Royal trip to Britain):

The song was composed by Penitutuʻila to depict the late Kuini Sālote Tupou III’s visit to the British coronation in 1953.

Queen Sālote stole the show when she ignored the rain and traveled with the top of her carriage down so she could smile and wave to the crowds.

She was described by the Daily Telegraph as “the star of the day.”

In ‘Hāʻele ki Pilitānia’ Tutuʻila Tonganised some English words such as Burgingham, Windsor, Thames and Britain and used them in the song. 

These new Tongan words make the songs sound more interesting. 

Queen Sālote’s performance in Britain during Queen Elizabeth’s coronation was a huge story in Tonga at the time and it was repeatedly broadcast on the only radio station at the time, the government-sponsored ZCO, now known as A3Z.

Māloni said when the queen returned from London she regularly requested ‘Hāʻele ki Pilitānia’ be played on the radio.

Nov. 28, 2025 DJ Maka Feke re makes this song with a Fushion of Tongan and Latin. 

Lyrics:

Hāʻele ki Pilitāniá (Tongan version by Peni Tutuʻila Malupō)

(Verse 1)
 Angiangi mai ‘a e Funga Siu-Malakí
Ke fakaa‘u ‘a e ‘ofa ni ki he lupe he Palasí
Si‘i lupe ‘o Tonga mānoa ‘i he kolopé
‘O ‘autō ki Uinisā vāvālafo‘anga ē tupé

(Verse 2)
Angi taulua ‘a e tonga hihifó
‘O falala he Tāmesi ko e fai‘anga ‘o e fakauō
Fio ai ē kakala ko e tumu‘aki ‘o Moheofó
Ne ngangatu ‘i he loto ‘o tu‘ula ‘i he ta‘emangaló

(Verse 3)
Ne sikāhema ma‘ili ‘one angiangí
‘O ue‘ia ē kakala he mausa ‘o Pākingihamí
Kapa ai si‘i lupe he naite ‘o e ‘Otu Felenití
He ‘oku taku he fetau langima‘a ‘o Palataisí

(Chorus)
He la‘ā hopo ‘o Felenité, Huhulu ‘i Polata‘ané
He palōfisai kuo moveté, Fakama‘u ‘o e talité
‘Ofa ‘i he teké, Si‘i langi ‘o Tongá
He ‘oku tu‘u ko e komá, Ka kuo hoko ‘o ‘iloá

Translation in English:

(Verse 1)
LET THE FUNGA SIUMALAKI WIND BLOWS IN
TO CARRY THIS LOVE TO THE ROYAL DOVE
BELOVED DOVE OF TONGA, FLUTTERED OVER THE GLOBE
ALIGHTING AT WINDSOR, AMIDST THE THRONG OF HIGH DIPLOMACY
 
(Verse 2)
THE SOUTH WESTERLY WIND BLOWS DOUBLY
LEANS AGAINST THE THAMES, SCENE OF JOYOUS CELEBRATIONS
THERE EFFUSING IS THE KAKALA, THE PRIME OF MOHEOFO LINEAGE
WHOSE FRAGRANCE MOVES THE HEART TO UNFORGETTABLE HEIGHTS
 

(Verse 3)
WINDFALL TURNED VIBRANTLY BREEZING
NUDGING THE KAKALA, FRAGRANCE OF BURGINGHAM
THERE GLIDED BELOVED DOVE, KNIGHT OF THE FRIENDLY ISLES
TOLD IN REPARTEE AS THE CLEAR SKY OF PARADISE
 
(Chorus)
RISING SUN OF THE FRIENDLY ISLES
GLEAMING OVER GREAT BRITAIN
AND THE PROPHECY IS PROCLAIMED
AFFIRMATION OF OUR TREATY
MY, HOW SHE PEDDLES
THE NATION OF TONGA
THAT STAND TINY AS A COMMA
BUT IT’S NOW BECOME FAMOUS.
