Pe a e siva mai fa’asamoa
O oe lava o le tausala
Se’ese’e maia la’ia ma ‘ata
Funa e ua lasi ou taga
Tiga le tele o siva mai fafo
ese’esega i faiga ma uiga, peita’i
se’i lalo lalo maia le teine Samoa
Oka oka, ua ova!
Pe a e siva mai fa’asamoa
O oe lava o le tausala
Se’ese’e maia la’ia ma ‘ata
Funa e ua lasi ou taga
Tiga le tele o siva mai fafo
ese’esega i faiga ma uiga, peita’i
se’i lalo lalo maia le teine Samoa
Oka oka, ua ova!
E pele oe i lo’u loto, Samoa

Lou lalelei e tumau pea
O oe ua le o lelea
Tiga le tele o siva mai fafo
ese’esega i faiga ma uiga, peita’i
se’i lalo lalo maia le teine Samoa
Oka oka, ua ova!
Ua mamalu le fa’asamoa
Ua uma ona e iloa
E ta’uta’ua i le Pasefika
Samoa i ona uiga
Tiga le tele o siva mai fafo
ese’esega i faiga ma uiga, peita’i
se’i lalo lalo maia le teine Samoa
Oka oka, ua ova!
Tiga le tele o siva mai fafo
ese’esega i faiga ma uiga, peita’i
se’i lalo lalo maia le teine Samoa
Oka oka, ua ova!
An overall summary?
This is a dance (siva) song for girls.
The first verse says something like: When you dance in the Samoan style, you are the the one and only beauty, so keep dancing (se’ese’e maia refers to the way we slide our feet on the floor when we dance) because your actions are great.
The rest of the song is more praise for the dancer, for the grace in her actions, and how no other style of dance in the world can compare to the Samoan siva. It also talks about the pride we have for Samoa, how our little country is known throughout the Pacific.. and also about the beauty of the Fa’asamoa.
And that’s about it. It’s just a light, happy song for dancing and celebrating.
Hope that helps 🙂

tiga le tele o siva mai fafo ua mamalu is da best aye i knew dhat
Malo Lava o au ou te fiafia lava e fa’alogo i le pese lana e manaia le latou beat i le pese ma latou leo.
Ou te fiafia lava e fa’alogo i pese a le Pacific Soul
I have read that the placing of the woman’s foot on the man is very disrespectful and would not be done in the traditional dance. The whole meaning of the dance is altered this way, isn’t it? That said, I love this culture and their love of Christ.
can someone give direct translation from the lyrics pliz
