“Malu afiafi” refers to the cool of the evening. This lyricist is using that time to ponder about God, Scripture, life and the searing pain of loss.
Malu afiafi o le aso
Le maua se to’a i lo’u loto
E o’ona tuitui le alofa
Pe a misia ita i lenei ola
E maniti o’u tino
I le lagona
Mafua aisea o lenei fefe
Manatua le oti o le uo pele
Ae ona o le tuinanau o’u mata
Fa’amalie o’u faalogoaga
Ua e ma’ona i agasala
Afio maia nei
E salamo
Le toe tagata tuai
Ia fou
E te saga Saulo ea ole a
Ae ia Paulo foi i le Atua
Amuia se tagata fa’apena
Mafua aisea o lenei fefe
Manatua le oti o le uo pele
Ae ona o le tuinanau o’u mata
Fa’amalie o’u faalogoaga
Ua e ma’ona i agasala

as you all know this song was using most of the kids for their ring tone…..
just a few suggestions , the first verse , on the line e o’ona tu’itu’i le alofa , its suppose to be m e o’ona tuitui le alofa ! not tu’itu’i ! but , really great job with posting it up !
Can someone please translate this song into english for me?
Thanks in advance!!!
i think that the song is tight and no need to change it well except for the tu’itu’i thang, oh well ben vai kknows wot to do wit it so yeah,,,,, great job man!!!
matalaoa is right…..e oona tuitui, not tu’itu’i….tu’itu’i means to knock as to knock the door…whereas tuitui means …deep sorrow…..and dat’s the end of Samoan Lang Lesson 1…..thank you, and god bless.
Thank you for the corrections. Apologies for the very, very late reply.

that is my uncles friend keep up the good work ben this is a really nice song basically im from samoa but now im in america so keep on the good work.
this for Meek 1, Cooling evening day is abond us
my soul is still not settle
love is deeper with bitteness
when i’m missing in this life
oh my body is shivering coz of this feeling
chorus why i feel this fearfull, oh why?
i remembered death is my dear friend
maybe coz of lusting eyes
or fullfilments of all your needs
you are full of demons n many sins
2 welcome here now, with sorry n forgiveness
you’re not the same old soul
you have redeemed”””
you are still with Saulo for what?
and Paul is not the Lord of Lord
praise whoever feels like that, all the time””””””””’

dis song is awesome…..u rock dude

the lyrics is the least of your mistakes…most of the songs in this site were not originated by Anivas , Mt vaea and so is this one this song was written and sang by the late punialavaa and so was lamepa susulu by anivas…you guys have to do some deep researches about these songs..thank you…..
You must do your own research too!
Mālū Afiafi was COMPOSED and originally sung by Lale Peteru’s late first cousin, Manuoniniva John Galumalemana of Vailele.
Later on, Punialavaa and others put their own spin on it.
Thank you for your comment dante. If you read our main lyrics page properly, you’d see that we list these songs by the names of the artists who perform them. We don’t make any claims about who wrote the lyrics or originated the songs, but we always welcome people’s input (in comments like yours) to help us learn.
Also, in most cases, the lyrics are provided by music lovers (not the artists) who only contribute what they know in a collaborative effort to celebrate Samoan songs.

I love this rendition and the original sung by Punialava’a.
The late Manuoniniva Togisia John Galumalemana of Vailele wrote these lyrics and was the first to sing and perform this masterpiece. RIL
Niceeee song love it so much. Brings back so many memories to my life.
Talofa!
Just wanted to clarify about the composer of this song. It was written by a man named Manuoniniva John Galumalemana who gave permission to Punialavaa to sing. There are many well known Samoan songs written by him that have been taken without acknowledgement or recognition. Feel free to search about Manuoniniva and his music.
Fa’afetai and God bless
Thank you proud Samoan. JJ
This song has an amazing effect when I listen to it. I am Samoan and do know I need to learn more about Samoan culture and express myself more, as I can feel I am more in tune with it as I am become older. This guy and a few others are starting that journey for me. This is one of my go-to songs. Love it
