Tala Mai Le Lagi

Annie Puletiuatoa | 23 comments

This upbeat song of praise encourages Samoa to love, worship and have faith in our wise and Holy God, who saves souls.

Tala mai e le lagi

o le mamalu o le silisili ese
A o le vanimonimo
e fa’aalia galuega tetele

Le la ma le masina
e fesuisuia’e i le ao ma le po
O lona finagalo
e galulue ai ma malolo

Sau la’ia ta o
i le Atua o le manumalo
Samoa e le fa’avae
Le fa’avae o lou malo

Aua ne’i e toe
fa’alotolotolua
O le Atua e pa’ia
E silisili ese lona poto

Le faiva fa’aleatua
o le fagotaina o agaga
Ina ia salamo
ma talia o le fa’aolataga

O lona finagalo e le faavavau
i finau ma tagata
O le faamasinoga
e te tu lava mo oe lava

Sau la’ia ta o
i le Atua o le manumalo
Samoa e le fa’avae
Le fa’avae o lou malo

Aua ne’i e toe
fa’alotolotolua
O le Atua e pa’ia
E silisili ese lona poto

Amuia le tagata
o lo’o filifili lelei ona ala
E le faatauemu
ae nanau i poloaiga uma lava

E pei o le la’au
e tau fuifui i fuata uma lava
E le fa’anoia
ae matagofie lana silafaga

Sau la’ia ta o
i le Atua o le manumalo
Samoa e le fa’avae
Le fa’avae o lou malo

Aua ne’i e toe
fa’alotolotolua
O le Atua e pa’ia
E silisili ese lona poto

Sau la’ia ta o
i le Atua o le manumalo
Samoa e le fa’avae
Le fa’avae o lou malo

Aua ne’i e toe
fa’alotolotolua
O le Atua e pa’ia
E silisili ese lona poto

O le Atua e pa’ia
E silisili ese lona poto

O le Atua e pa’ia
E silisili ese lona poto

Tala mai e le lagi….The heavens declare
o le mamalu o le silisili ese…..the glory of the Lord
A o le vanimonimo……And the firmament
e fa’aalia galuega tetele….reveal his mighty works

Le la ma le masina….The sun and the moon
e fesuisuia’e i le ao ma le po….alternate as day and night
O lona finagalo…..His perfect will
e galulue ai ma malolo…..to work and must also rest

Sau la’ia ta o….Come and let us go
i le Atua o le manumalo….To our Conquering Lord
Samoa e le fa’avae…..Samoa’s foundation
Le fa’avae o lou malo….Was founded on the Lord

Aua ne’i e toe…..Don’t you be stuck
fa’alotolotolua…..betwixt opinions
O le Atua e pa’ia…..For God is holy
E silisili ese lona poto….The highest and all kowning

Le faiva fa’aleatua…..The call of God
o le fagotaina o agaga….to be fishers of men soul
Ina ia salamo…..To come to repentence
ma talia o le fa’aolataga….and receive his great salvation

O lona finagalo e le faavavau…..His perfect will
i finau ma tagata…..won’t be forever oppose by men
O le faamasinoga…..For at the judgment
e te tu lava mo oe lava…..you stand alone for yourself

Sau la’ia ta o…..Come and let us go
i le Atua o le manumalo….To our conquering Lord
Samoa e le fa’avae…..Samoa’s foundation
Le fa’avae o lou malo…..Was founded on the Lord

Aua ne’i e toe…..Don’t you be stuck
fa’alotolotolua…..betwixt of opinions
O le Atua e pa’ia…..The Lord is holy
E silisili ese lona poto…..The highest and all knowing

Amuia le tagata…..Blessed is he
o lo’o filifili lelei ona ala….who wisely planned out his path
E le faatauemu…..He won’t be offended
ae nanau i poloaiga uma lava….but his desire to claim all promises

E pei o le la’au…..He is like a tree
e tau fuifui i fuata uma lava….baring fruits in every season
E le fa’anoia…..Free for the taking
ae matagofie lana silafaga…..and its glorious in his sight

Sau la’ia ta o….Come and let us go
i le Atua o le manumalo….To our conquring Lord
Samoa e le fa’avae….Samoa’s foundation
Le fa’avae o lou malo….Was founded on the Lord

Aua ne’i e toe…..Don’t you be stuck
fa’alotolotolua…..betwixt opinions
O le Atua e pa’ia….The Lord is holy
E silisili ese lona poto….The highest and all knowing

sama

Great job….I am actually choreographing to this song for next years Aloha Festival.
The one ur missing i had a hard time with it too but to go with the context of the song I think it itsomeging like…..
“LE FAIVA FAALEATUA”

galu

Same her….choreographing for a cousins wedding!!!
I think Sama is right-“LE FAIVA FA’ALEATUA” goes into the gap!!
Thanks for writing this my mum really wanted the words to it!!

Trina sau

Fix the lyrics..spell your words like a real Samoan would..thank u

Sene

What’s wrong with the spelling?
A: Define a real Samoan and their spelling!. Some can’t spell. Some, even in the language of their chiefs’ language continue in what’s termed ‘tautala leaga’.
E: If you’re referring to the glottal stops, what’s the harm in putting them in for Samoans who are learning the language?
I: If you google the name of this song, for lyrics; you’ll find this is the only site! So, thank you for adding it:)

Gerdy

I think trina is refering to *faavavau..it’s not faavavao!

Talofa lava, thank you for posting up the lyrics to this beautiful song! You’ve done really well and I can understand it. The only word that I can see that needs a tweek in spelling is “naunau” where you’ve got nanau so it’s only a little tweek of adding a letter into it but other than that really appreciate the effort of having the words on here and posted up for all to see:) I like the english translation that you’ve posted up saying it’s a Praise and Worship song to a message from our wonderful God in Heaven to us! thanks again for stating on here what it means in English I would love to know and have this in English lyrics as well but other than that you’ve done great keep on keeping on posting up our amazing Samoan songs/pese. Faafetai lava:)
