This is a pese vi’i, or song of celebration/praise, for the district of Falealili in Upolu, Samoa.

Falealili uma
i o ma o
ta fia faalogologo
i sou leo
Ua a’ave o le tala
o le malo
ua leai se manu e toe olo

Falefitu e Falealili ma Aleipata
faapea ma le atu Safata
A e fia faatau moa lafo ane sau ‘afa
a e soia lava le fetui ala
E aoga foi fa’aga tama
e masagi i le tupulaga

{ TALI }

Fa’amane’ene’e,
aua le minoi tele
Ae teu le ta’alo
ma le loto maualalo

Olioli malie,
aua le pisa o
Faato’a vivini o le moa ina ua malo

Satalo e o le uso na toto
Teuteu ia le itumalo
Falealili e, ia maopo’opo
O le mea sili lea e malie ai lou loto

Lata penina o le auro lea
oi lata pululipano e po’o fea
Oe la’u manamea e le fa’agalo i aso fai pea
O lo’u fiafia e ua le gatai mai lea

Aloalo malie lau va’a Samoa
i lou sami lanu moana
Ua e ofi atu i le ava
ma e pesepese le taulaga
Ua tuanai o le atu vasa
ua fetaiai i le ala fatafata

Samoa e, amuia oe
ua taunuu ma le manuia lau faamoemoe

{REPEAT CHORUS}

don’t just call out the errors folks…correct them!

Alo

The first 2 verses talks about the government of Falealii and its links to Aleipata and the atu Safata

The 3rd verse urges Falealii’s chiefs to look after the district to ensure the unity and continuing harmony of the people

The 4th verse pays homage to Samoa and its progress in the world using the metaphor of Samoa as a ship on the wide ocean sailing ever onwards

errors in this song

Lanuola

Id say theres the heaps of mistakes!!

Dorothy

Is there a possibility that maybe they could not include everything and had to leave a few words out for a reason which the singer is already aware of and felt that it would not make too much difference!?

That samoan chick >.

Errors are in the verse:

Lata penina o le auro lea

Lata pululipano e po’o fea

Oe la’u manamea e le fa’agalo i aso fai pea

Lo’u fiafia e ua le gata mai lea.

The following is the correct version for the vii of Falealili

“Aue ua ta fia falealili fua”

Falealili uma
I o ma o
Ta fia faalogologo i sou leo
Ua aave o le tala
O le malo
Ua leai se manu e toe olo…

Falefitu e
Falealili ma Aleipata
Faapea ma le atu Safata
A e fia faatau moa
Lafo ane sau afa
Ae soia lava le fetui ala
E aoga fo’i fa’aga tama
E masagi i le tupulaga

Faamaneenee (eeeee)

ma le loto maualaaaaalo
Olioli malie
Aua le pisa oooooo
faato’a vivini o le moa ina ua malie…

Satalo e o le uso na toto
Teuteu ia le itumalo oo.
Falealili e, ia maopoopo
O le mea sili lea e malie ai lou loto

Lata penina o le auro lea
Oi lata pulu lipano epoo fea
Wooooooooo oe lo’u manamea e le faagalo i aso fai pea
Lou fiafia ,e ua le gatai mai lea

Aloalo malie lou vaa samoa
I lou sami lanu moana
Ua e ofi atu i le ava ma e pesepese i le taulaga
Ua tuanai o le atu vasa ua fetaia’i
I le ala fatafata.
Samoa e, amuia oe, ua taunuu ma le manuia lou faamoemoe.

Faamaneenee (eeeee)
aua le minoi tele (teeeeeele)

ma le loto maualaaaaalo
Olioli malie
