Samoan National Anthem (Samoa i Sisifo)

Traditional | 23 comments

(Anne Robertson Version)

Samoa, tula’i ma sisi ia lau fu’a, lou pale lea

Samoa, tula’i ma sisi ia lau fu’a, lou pale lea

Vaai i na fetu o lo’o ua agiagia ai
Le faailoga lea o Iesu na maliu ai mo Samoa Oi
Samoa e, uu mau lau pule ia faavavau

‘Aua e te fefe, o le Atua lo ta fa’a vae
O lota sa’olotoga

Samoa, tula’i, ia agiagia lau fu’a, lou pale lea.

I prefer the original version of the anthem before some old Christian faife’au decided to change it by publishing different words in the Hymn book.

The part:
Vaai i na fetu o loo ua agiagia ai
Le faailoga lea o Iesu na maliu ai mo Samoa Oi!

In the original version it used to be:
Va’ai i na fetu o lo’o ua agiagia ai
Le fa’ailoga lea o Samoa ua mafai ona tautai

I loathe the new version.

TALOFA I love the bit when it says Samoa because that’s in our blood and that’s who we are

lol I agree with u on one side that they change the lyrics, well that one line, God already is in the anthem, but maybe they just wanted to empphasize it even more lol

Original lea: Other lyrics are the same except for:

Le faailoga lea o Samoa ua mafai ona tautai….
Aua e te fefe e le toe avea lou pale….

The change came around 1974-75 to:
Le faailoga lea o Iesu na maliu mo i tatou ..
Aua e te fefe o le Atua lo ta faavae…

The govt wanted a change to emphasize Christianity in Samoan life.
