A song of gratitude, a tribute to someone who’s blessed and guided a young life.
Liliu le taimi se’i o’u fai atu
ua sui lo’u olaga
Se’i e fusi ma opo mai ita te le’i malaga
E pei se talatui mai lo’u agaga
ua motusia la ta mafutaga
E le galo oe
seia uma la’u manava
E le galo oe
seia uma la’u manava
Sa e ta’ita’i lo’u lima
i ala o le Tusi Paia
ina ua ou matua na ou
liuliu atu i le pia
E ui lava ina e le fiafia
ae sa e le tuulafoaia
O lou alofa ua
ala ai lenei manuia
Liliu le taimi se’i o’u fai atu
ua sui lo’u olaga
Se’i e fusi ma opo mai ita te le’i malaga
E pei se talatui mai lo’u agaga
ua motusia la ta mafutaga
E le galo oe
seia uma la’u manava
E le galo oe
seia uma la’u manava
Ua e ta’ita’i lo’u lima
i ala o le Tusi Paia
Fautuaga teuteu i le loto le ua savalia
Maligi loimata o le fiafia
aua sa e le tuulafoaia
O lou alofa ua ala ai lenei manuia
Liliu le taimi se’i o’u fai atu
ua sui lo’u olaga
Se’i e fusi ma opo mai ita te le’i malaga
E pei se talatui mai lo’u agaga
ua motusia la ta mafutaga
E le galo oe
seia uma la’u manava
E le galo oe
seia uma la’u manava
Lenei ua tuai
Ua masa’a le ipu vai
Ua le toe mafai
Ua masa’a le ipu vai
Ae sau ia e alu ia manuia lau malaga
O le a ou nofo
a ua malamalama o’u ala
O le a ou nofo
a ua malamalama o’u ala
Liliu le taimi se’i o’u fai atu
ua sui lo’u olaga
Se’i e fusi ma opo mai ita te le’i malaga
E pei se talatui mai lo’u agaga
ua motusia la ta mafutaga
E le galo oe
seia uma la’u manava
E le galo oe
seia uma la’u manava
