Lo’u manamea

Aniseto Falemoe | 5 comments

Our love was beautiful, everything was going so well… and then suddenly things just fell apart. Now what? 

(Tu’ua le Masaniga)

Sa fausiaina lenei alofa
ia ta’ua upu ma o ta lagona
vai malu o’u moomooga
faliu maia lau afioga

Ina ua tu’ua le masaniga
lea sou lape o sou uiga
le malilie ai lou aiga
le alofa sa tausiaina

Oi dear ea poo lea a sau tali
Le mautonu ua sautualasi
faitio mai lo’u nofo toatasi
le popole ma le maasiasi

Ua e alu ma fai au tala
Lo’u aiga aafia fua lava
le feagai o oe ma ita
lalelei tele ou foliga

{ TALI }

Lou manamea se’i tautala maia ea
po o le a e alu, faapefea… o o

Soia, o na pau o lenei olaga
e tutusa ma ni faamatalaga
Ua e seu alofaaga
Tafea ita i le moana

E leaga o lenei olaga
e manatu a e faatauvaa
sili o le oa le tama o aiga
malilie ai lou aiga

A o oe ma sou lagona
E tauia lenei alofa
I se aso pe a umi le ola
Faigata ou manaoga

Alu ia oe a e toe fo’i ita
mea tiga ua e tuuai maia
sili o le oti nai o le uaina
faatoilalo ma le faalumaina

po o le sei ma le ta feagaiga
natia ifo ae malu tia ita
Ia mou atu o lou tino
Faiva o Fiti ia lililo

{ TALI }

Ia taua upu ma o ta lagona

Ina ua tuua le masaniga

Lea sou lape ma sou uiga
Le malilie ai lou aiga

Le mautonu ua sautualasi
Faitio mai lou nofotoatasi
Le popole ma le maasiasi

Ua e alu ma fai ou tala
Lo’u aiga aafia fua lava
Le feagai ooe ma ita
Lalelei tele ou foliga

Mea tiga ua e tuuai maia
A ooe ma sou lagona
Sili o le oti nai loo le uaina

Natia ifo ae malu tia ita

Ia mou atu o lou tino
Faiva o Fiti ia lililo

Malo HGG,

You’re probably puzzled by the comments I’m leaving years after you’ve posted them. Regretfully I’m only now passing through them and your articles inspire and intrique me so much that I’m reading them all tonight…and searching for more. Do you have any other blogs or a facebook page that I can read up on? I love learning more about our amazing culture and seeing this song almost had me in tears. I had a family reunion in Napier this past Christmas and at the end of 3 wonderful days with the family, we all stood in a huge circle holding hands and sang this song. As I sit here thousands of miles away, it really made me long for the culture I’ve missed out on for almost 30 years. I hope you’ve continued to write or even publish something for others like myself to read to bring us closer to home. Thank you- you have an avid fan.
