THE HANGIN TREE	KO E 'AKAULO'OA
Are you, are you	Ke, ke
Coming to the tree	Ha'u ki he 'akau
Where they strung up a man	'A ia na'e tautau'i ai ha tama
They say murdered three.	Nau pehe naa ne tamate'i tokotolu.
Strange things have happened here	Na'e hoko me'a matamatakehe 'i ai
No stranger would it be	Ka 'ikai ke matamatakehe ange ia
If we met at midnight	'E kapau naa ma fetaulaki e tu'uapo
In the hanging tree.	'I he 'akaulo'oa.1
Are you, are you	Ke, ke
Coming to the tree	Ha'u ki he 'akau
Where the dead man called out	'A ia na'e 'u'ulu ha tama kuo mate
For his love to flee.	Maa 'ene 'ofa'anga ke hola.
Strange things did happen here	Na'e hoko me'a matamatakehe 'i ai
No stranger would it be	Ka 'ikai ke matamatakehe ange ia
If we met at midnight	'E kapau naa ma fetaulaki e tu'uapo
In the hanging tree.	'I he 'akaulo'oa.
Are you, are you	Ke, ke
Coming to the tree	Ha'u ki he 'akau
Where I told you to run,	'A ia naa ku tala atu ke lele
So we'd both be free.	Ke ta lava 'o tau'ataaina2
Strange things have happened here	Na'e hoko me'a matamatakehe 'i ai
No stranger would it be	Ka 'ikai ke matamatakehe ange ia
If we met at midnight	'E kapau naa ma fetaulaki e tu'uapo
In the hanging tree.	'I he 'akaulo'oa.
Are you, are you	Ke, ke
Coming to the tree	Ha'u ki he 'akau
Wear a necklace of rope/hope*,	Tui ha kahoa 'amanaki
Side by side with me.	Tu'u tafa'aki mo au
Strange things did happen here	Na'e hoko me'a matamatakehe 'i ai
No stranger would it be	Ka 'ikai ke matamatakehe ange ia
If we met at midnight	'E kapau naa ma fetaulaki e tu'uapo
In the hanging tree.	'I he 'akaulo'oa.
* In the film, Plutarch Heavensbee uses the film of Katniss singing as anti-Capitol propaganda and changes the lyrics from "necklace of rope" to "necklace of hope" to take away some of the morbid undertones. Plutarch then uses the song as a rebel anthem.
