Something is weighing heavily on this poet’s mind. Has his true love changed her mind about him? Why won’t she say something?
Tali maia o ‘oe lo’u au
Sei fa’amalu ai lo’u mafaufau
Fa’amalu ai fo’i lou tu’inanau
Ma lo’u tauanau
Sa fai ‘oe ma a’u uo
O ananafi fo’i ma le aso
Nai ou uiga fa’amaualalo
‘E le fa’agalo
{ CHORUS }
Afai ‘e te le fiafia
Alofa ma taumafai
afai fo’i e leai
Pele ‘ea se’i tali mai
Ua ave pea oe ‘i lou agaga
O ‘oe fuga fai ma a’u agasala
Pe o se avega ‘ua mamafa
‘I lo’u nei olaga
Answer me oh my love
Just what sin have I been guilty of
Tell me how I came to lose your love
Please answer me… my love
You were mine yesterday
I believe that love was here to stay
Won’t you tell me where I’ve gone astray
Please answer me… my love
Ua ave pea oe i lo’u agaga
‘O ‘oe fuga fai ma a’u agasala
Pe o se avega ‘ua mamafa
I lo’u nei olaga
Pe o se avega ua mamafa
I lo’u nei olaga
This is so kool

To Maluhia: This is actually called Answer Me, My Love, sung by the late Nat King Cole . So I’m sorry I don’t know the Samoan translation, but I do know that it’s probably a little different from the original lyrics. I’d like to have the translation too. 😀 But a very beautiful song.. I used to do this song with a very good friend of mine, Sakiusa Bulicokocoko, whose keyboard player sang this beautifully!.
I too love/enjoy this song… We gota thank Nat King Cole for writing this song!!!! #RIP Anyway cheeehuuuuu

Tali maia o ‘oe lo’u au
Sei fa’amalu ai lo’u mafaufau
Fa’amalu ai fo’i lou tu’inanau
Ma lo’u tauanau.. translation Accept that you are my team
To celebrate my graduation
It also honors your passion
And your arriva
Sa fai ‘oe ma a’u uo
O ananafi fo’i ma le aso
Nai ou uiga fa’amaualalo
‘E le fa’agalo Translation:
You were my friend
Yesterday and today
I had a humble attitude
I will not forget
Caitie, Google Translate is not ready yet for Samoan lyrics. Maybe one day soon, but not now.
As an example, Google doesn’t know all the possible translations for the word au… ‘team’ is only one of them, but a Samoan speaking human can see from the context that in this song, au refers to someone’s beloved, or significant other.
The rest of your translation has several other similar errors. I’m going to assume you’re trying to be helpful by posting them here…? Thank you, but maybe don’t rely on Google’s Samoan just yet.
I don’t rely on Google translation. Spent 4 years in Samoa. faamanuia le Atua
Oh I’m sorry.. I thought this was a Google translation because so many words are wrong.
My apologies.
Perfectly said 👏 The artist involved the English translation in the song. He did a fantastic job at it ❤️
