Talofa Samoa
O le poto e taua i le olaga o le tagata
Leai se mea e oi ai lou loto
Pe a e mauaina o le poto
O le mamalu fa’aeaina
O le leo o le tamaoaiga
Tupulaga saili ia le poto
Ma ia teu malu i lou loto
Le paleali’i o le tagata
O le poto uma lava
Pei o le tu malamalama
I le olaga o le tagata
E su’e gata, e taugata
E anagata o le poto
Ia manatua e lou loto
E fa’afeao oe e le poto
Ia manatua e lou loto
E fa’afeao oe e le poto
O le poto fa’ale-atunu’u, o ana tu ma lana aganuu
O le tofa loloto, faapea le utaga poto
O le fa’aaloalo i tagata
E iloa oe i lau gagana
Lau aganu’u moni lena
Ta’uta’ua ai Samoa
E mitamita o se teine ma se tama
Pe a poto e palu o le ‘ava
Ma le tautuina o le ipu
Lufilufi mea taumafa
Ia e iloa nofo, tu ma savali
Le tausala o si ana puletasi
Taule’ale’a ma lana tautua
Le poto lena mai anamua
Taule’ale’a ma lana tautua
Le poto lena mai anamua
Afai e te maua o le poto
Aua ne’i galo, i lou loto
O le alofa ma le faautauta, ia e faamaoni i mea uma
O le poto moni lava lena, pei ona ole atu ai Solomona
Avea oe ma faaolataga, lau atunuu ma ona tagata
O le poto o le meaalofa, e le maua e tagata uma
Se’i iloga e finau, ma tauivi i ona tiga
Leai se taua i nei ona po, saili malo i le poto
Taga’i i malo o le lalolagi, le poto ua saili ai le lumanai
Taga’i i malo o le lalolagi, le poto ua saili ai le lumana’i
I asked someone to help me with the lyrics for this song, and she even provided a rough translation. Lucky us.

Hello Samoa
Knowledge is important in the life of a person
Nothing to worry about
If you obtain knowledge
It’s the elevated glory
The voice of resources (abundance)
Generations seek knowledge
And keep it securely in your heart
The crown of a person
All knowledge
Like light in the path
In the life of a person
It’s hard to find, it’s expensive
Knowledge is priceless
Remember in your heart
Knowledge takes you everywhere
Remember in your heart
Knowledge takes you everywhere
National knowledge, it’s customs and culture
Deep wisdom, also wise use of knowledge
Respectful of persons
You are known in your language
Your customs and true culture
Samoa is well known by
Proud is a girl and a boy
When knowledgeable in mixing the kava
And presenting the cup (for the ‘ava ceremony)
Preparing and handling of food
You should know how to sit, stand and walk
The princess and her puletasi
Young (untitled) man and his service
That’s knowledge from olden times
Young man and his service
That’s knowledge from olden times
When you obtain knowledge
Don’t forget in your heart
Love and wisdom, you should be honest in all things
That is true wisdom, like Solomon asked of you
You should be a life saviour, to your country and its people
Knowledge is a gift, not everyone gets it
Unless you keep searching for it, and fight with its difficulties (hardships)
No war these days, governments seek knowledge
Look at goverments of the world, they use knowledge to find their future
Look at governments of the world, they use knowledge to find their future
