Taute Lo’u Au

This poet is eloquently expressing fear that this love might be over.

Sau ia oe taute lo’u au se’i fai sau tala

O tumau pea ita i sou lagona i le mafutaga
O ou foliga ma ou fofoga fiafia mata’ata’ata
O lo’o tumau pea oe la’u rosa, la’u fua matala
O lo’o tumau pea oe la’u rosa, la’u fua matala

Ou te manatua le tumua i si o’u mafaufau
O se mea manogi oe ina ia fai o se pine fa’amau
Sa ‘ou musu ne’i le tau la’ua mo’omo’oga
A ‘o alo atu lau afioga pele ia ‘oaoga
A ‘o alo atu lau afioga pele ia ‘oaoga

A e ui i lea o le a ou fa’atali pea
Se upu e pa’u mai i lou fofoga oe o la’u manamea
Ua e tu’u i fa’amatalaga e le aoga
A e te le o manatua o lo’u pologa i le timu ma le la
A e te le o manatua o lo’u pologa i le timu ma le la

Taute and Sosefina of are the same person. She is a beautiful Samoan woman who stole the heart of a man who got the (one) composer of the two songs to compose these love songs for her. Among family members, she is known as “Josie”. Small world, huh?
