A very popular tribute song to our mothers and cherishing our families.

Tina, Tina ea

Oe lagona mai ita
Ta fia fo’i atu i le aiga

Ta le lava le faigata
Ua o se sala o se pagota
Le fia va’ai atu i ou foliga
Tele mea manaia o le olaga nei
Leai lava o se lelei
O fiafiaga uiga ese ma lasi
Ae le suia ai se tali

Tina, Tina ea
Oe lagona mai ita
Ta fia fo’i atu i le aiga

Ana fou i le va’ai
Ou fa’atosina mai
Taleni oe fia fo’i atu ia te oe
E suamalie i la’u tofo
Ae le suia lo’u loto
Fia fo’i atu e le mafai ona ou nofo

O a ni tupe ma ni oa taua oi seisi lava laufanua
Ae le mafai ua sili lava le aiga moni ma matua

Tina, Tina ea
Oe lagona mai ita
Ta fia fo’i atu i le aiga

E fia va’ai atu i ou foliga
