Arise Tu i Luga

Lole Usoalii | 18 comments

Released not long after the deadly 2009 tsunami, this song is a call for Samoans to be strong, to find comfort in our heritage, our culture and our God.

Mua ia ina mua
Mua o, Mua o, Mua o
(Mua o)
Mua o, Mua o, Mua o

Samoa lau atunuu pele
e le galo oe i taimi faigata
Tumau pea lau gagana
fausia pea lou va’a
Faamalosi

Manatua pea aso anamua
Fa’aaloalo i tagata matutua
Fa’aavae oe i le Atua
Aua lava e te fo’i i tua
Talofa e Samoa e
Tupulaga fo’i mai

TALI:
Tu i luga i lou malosi
Aua e te fefe i le oti
O le Atua e, puipui oe
Iesu o le leoleo mamoe
Fa’amalosi
x2

Be strong

This is the story of my warrior people
This is the story of all Polynesia
Where the warriors rule and reign
Born as warriors and died as kings
Samoa e!

I wanna thank you for my freedom
I give thanks for a certain destiny
Cause you fought and died for me
Showed the world to live in peace
Fa’asamoa
Teine Samoa
Outou Tama Toa

{ TALI x2 }

You can take a boy out of Samoa, but you can’t take the Samoan out of the boy.

Thankyou Lord for all you have done for the people of Samoa, they may struggle to live back at home but you have blessed them with the gift of strength and faith…may tha good Lord continue to move through Samoa, be strong nd believe in all you do. We have the power to do anything in life as long as our relationship with God is strong and we stay true to him nd ourselves thea is no greater power than faith!

Look up Arise Tu I Luga by Lole Usoalii on UTube which gives the Samoan as well as the English lyrics. Love this song.
