Afai e te alofa

Five Stars, Pacific Soul | 17 comments

If you have love for me, please come back to me. Here’s a classic ballad of yearning and desire, of heartbreak and hope. A favorite of Samoan romantics. 

(Five Stars version)

Afai e te alofa
se’i maliu maia oe
Foi mai ia ita
Ou te tagi atu nei
O taita nei
Ua faanoanoa
Foi mai pele ea
Foi mai
Foi mai pele ea
Foi mai

O tino e vaivai
Dear ea i le fia vaai
Ta fia tepa tasi, darling, i ou foliga matalasi

Se tasi ua sili atu
Faagalo i lou manatu
Foi mai pele / dear ea
Foi mai
Foi mai pele ea
Foi mai

(Repeat)

I’m Australian by birth, but Seychelles is my background. I have no Maori in me whatsoever, but love this music. This song sounds absolutely beautiful and I have no idea what they’re singing about lol. Is there an English version? It probably wouldn’t sound as nice in English, but I would love to know what each word means. I really like this song and these women have some of the most beautiful heavenly voices I’ve ever heard 🙂

If you are in love
Won’t you please come back
Come back to me
I am pleading with thee
Of myself
I’m grieving
Come back my darling
Come back

I’m feeling weak
Dear in longing to see
Just one glance
Darling to your lovely face
The one who set your heart on
Abstract from your mind
Come back my darling
Come back
