Tausani mai manu e

Tausani mai manu e
Tausani mai manu e
Le alofa e i ulu, o la’au e
Ua i luga o mauga
Fa’aifo i le vanu e
Ua i luga o tumutumu e
Ua tafea le uto a taufau e
Ua sola le fa’asamoa
Faiaoga e, u’u mau e

{ CHORUS }

Ia la la la la la
Ia la la la la la
I le feleni e sau ia ta o
Se’i tautua i le malo

Fafati mai o galu fao ali’ao
Ua gogolo uma figota o le a’au
Fa’atali timu le nu’u Savavau
Ia magalo ai le sala a Tigilau
Lau afioga a le Kaisa
Ia ola tama na fa’afolau

Talofa, I would like to know the true meaning of this song please and it’s translation in English if someone would kindly do so. I’ve been asked to do a song and some actions to teach my daughters Kapahaka group for their schools Polyfest in June. Not long to go lol…and I’ve chosen this song but would love to know what it means so I can explain the meaning to the children. Because it’s next month would love to get your response asap as I’m teaching this to the kids this Sunday!!! I look forward to hearing from you Faafetai

The birds sing my song of love for my homeland
Sing it in the treetops
Sing it in the mountains
Sing it in the valleys
Sing it from the peaks
Taufaus fishnet has floated away (reference to legend of when Queen Taufaus dynasty came to an end)
The Samoan Culture is slipping away
Teachers (elders) please hold on to our customs

Man, strolled onto this song yesterday and I’ve been jamming it on repeat. Love Samoan music.

Iasone

Instead of: Faiaoga e, u’u mau e
it should be: Samoa loʻu nuʻu e

Churrr

Luciano Fuataga

That is only an add-on like a remix.

Lisa
