O a’u o le Samoa

Aggie Su'a Hewson | 9 comments

A song about a Samoan girl’s(teine Samoa) pride in her culture and how she was brought up.

Amuia ona amata mai ile fa’aSamoa
Po’o a ni suiga o le olaga e le toe leiloa
E amata i aoga faife’au faapea matua
Ole fesili muamua o ai na faia oe tali ole Atua

Chorus:
E, o a’u ole Samoa
E o a’u ole Samoa
E e ui le lago i lo’u fale
Oute le ma e ta’u atu

Amuia ona ou tupu a’e i totonu o Samoa
O nai tagata e fafaga i upu i aso uma e le aunoa
Lo’u ola sa’oloto i totonu o si o’u atunu’u
E le galo i ate a’u la’u tu ma la’u aganu’u

Chorus:
E, o a’u ole Samoa
E o a’u ole Samoa
E e ui le lanu o lo’u pale Samoa
Oute le ma e ta’u atu

Le pa’epa’e o lo’u pa’u
E le tete’e ile fue o a’u
Ma foliga palagi
E le fo’i ai male fusipa’u

Ae se’i futi lo’u ulu
Toe sausau ma po i lo’u gutu
O mea uma na, a le atoa
E le’o oe ose teine Samoa

Chorus:
E, o a’u ole Samoa
E o a’u ole Samoa
E e ui le lanu o lo’u pale Samoa
Oute le ma e ta’u atu

E, amuia lava a’u
E, amuia lava a’u
E, e Samoa lo’u fatu
Oute le ma e ta’u atu
Oute le ma e ta’u atu
Oute le ma e ta’u atu

Blessed are they who were raised in the Samoan way
Whatever changes in life it won’t be erase
It began in the Pastor’s schooling and parent’s teaching
The first question whose your Maker the answer was God

Ei, I am a Samoan
Ei I am a Samoan
Ei, in spite of my skin color
Samoa I’m not ashamed to say

How blessed I was to growing up in Samoa
Her people are fed with words every day without fail
I lived so free inside my beloved country
I’ll never forget my custom and my culture

My whitish skin rejected not getting spanking
My pale face could not avoided the belt
Pulled my hair a slap coming to my mouth
All of these things if not complete, you are not a Samoan girl.

Ei, how blessed I am
Ei, how blessed I am
Ei, I’ve a Samoan heart
I’m not ashame to say
I’m not ashame to say
I’m not ashame to say

The samoa lyrics,

verse1. line 1. Amu’ia e na amata mai i le Fa’asamoa

Chorus: line 3 & 4
E ui le lanu o lo’u pa’u.
Samoa ou te le ma e ta’u atu.
(the song is sung by a whitish afakasi samoan. not a dark skin) but I’m must say I’m so proud of her promoting her Samoaness.

verse 2. line 1. Amu’ia a’u na ou tupu a’e i totonu o Samoa

Oops! Line for line translation requested

Blessed are they who began in the Samoan culture
Whatever changes come in life it will not overide or forget (what they know)
It started from the pastor’s school and also the parents
The very first question was whose your Creator the answer was God.

Yay, I am a Samoan
Yay, I am a Samoan
Yay, inspite the color of my skin
Samoa I’m not ashamed to say it.

How blessed I am that I grew up in Samoa
Her people are fed with words daily without fail
My freedom in living in my own country
I forget not my custom and my culture.

The whiteness of my skin would not reject being stricken (discipline)
My white face would not hold back the belt.
But pulled my hair and strike coming towards my mouth
All of these things if they are not complete
You are not a Samoan girl.

Yay, how blessed I am
Yay, how blessed I am
Yay, I have a Samoan heart
I’m not ashamed to say it
I’m not ashamed to say it
I’m not ashamed to say it
