A popular medley of several classic Samoan romantic and historical songs.

Sa ou moe ma taulaga i le vave ia oe
talu lo’u alofa fa’avalea ia oe
Sa ou alu ma fealualua’i i le ala
pe fetaui ai o taua i le tafa mai o ata

Tamo’emo’e ita i le ala aga’i i sasa’e (toeafe)
Fetaui ma tagata toe fo’i aga’i i sisifo, aue ta’ilo
E ta’ino’ino i sia mea fa’avalevalea
Ua e lavea tele i le lau leva ou te le kea

*

Fa’apei ona naunau le mutia i le sau
e fa’apena ona ou naunau ia oe lo’u au
Si au amio malu ma le tauagafau
Ua tuia lo’u fatu ma lo’u mama talu le tuinanau

Sau, sau ia ta o, ta evaeva ane i o
Pe ta te nonofo i le malie o si ou loto
Aua ne’i e toe masalosalo, fuga
E te talitonu pe a ta sosola i mauga

*

Pei o se teu fugala’au tu mai i luga o se laulau
I luga o se laulau, ua puaina o lona manogi e le sau
Liusuavai e nofo ma feliuliuai, se mea mafai ai ona feiloa’i
Ua sousou o le vasa a ua pesi mai le matagi
Pesi mai le matagi, ou te faamoemoe ia oe o le laveai

*

Sa fai la’u miti, fai mai ua e sau
Ta te talatalanoa i lalo o le la’au
Ai ou te’i ane, tepa atu ua leai
Oso loa lo’u manatu, ai ua e le kea mai

Se mea a faigata, faigata
O le alofa pe ana le ma
pe na ta masani ea
o le a se mea ina a tina

*

Tagisia fo’i e La’ulu o se va’a ia goto
O le la ma le masina o lo ua gasetoto
O lou pale ua le so’o ua motusia la’u fa’asolo
E le faia so’u loto ae alu ita i le fa’alolo

Aue ue darling soia e te fa’anoanoa
O lo’u alofa lena, dear, ua e iloa
Tasi lua tolu fa le alofa, ae lima i au tautoga
Ua lavea ai lo’u mama ma o’u totoga

*

Ua motu le vae o le sega oi talofa e Samoa
O le sa fai ma po i lenei galuega
E ma’imau le galuega sa pele i lo’u agaga
O le tupe lautele ua fai lea ma ou faaola

Uso pele po o fea o i ai o au tautoga
O si o ta ola mo le ofisa o a’oga
E le failuga le nuu ua manu, filifili so manatu
Auina oe o le ala o le atu

*

Satalo e o le uso na toto
Teuteu ia le itumalo
Falealili e, ia maopoopo
O le mea sili lea e malie ai lo’u loto

*

Oi la’u lupe o le a e sola ma fa’aifo ane i le fafa
O le a e talafulu i le ana na moe ai o le tama
A iai ona ou alofa tuu mai i le faasopo ina
Liai mai ai o lou solosolo e tofa

Atamu lou matavalea, ae lea sei suesue pea
Po’o se fua po’o se la’au’aina, o se la’au ua faasaina
Le olaga e o le malamalama talu oe Eva lou tautala
Atamu e po o fea ea oe, ua le seua lau amio e

A few but minor corrections. The singers weren’t pronuncing some of the words correctly probably the reasons for errors.
