Moe i Le Po Masina

Share these lyrics:

Asleep on a moon-lit night, dreaming about the one you love, only to wake up and realize that you are alone. A beautifully melancholy love song.
Moe ile po masina
Moe miti i ou foliga
Le taimi tonu lea
Ua tu fa’asipa ai le aniva
O’u nofo loa i luga
Fa’asolo o’u mafaufauga
Lo’u tino ua maniti
Loimata ua maligi
Agi maia ia se matagi
Se’i momoli atu se tali
Ia te ia ua ou ioe
Fia fa’atasi pea ma oe
I lo’u nei agaga
Fia maua pea se mafutaga
Ana leai lo’u alofa
Semanu ou te le ola

My attempt at translating, with the utmost respect 🙂

Moe i le po masina
As I slept in the moonlit night

Moe miti i ou foliga
Dreaming of your countenance

Le taimi tonu lea
At that very moment

Ua tu fa’asipa ai le aniva
The milky way glimmered

O’u nofo loa i luga
I awoke and arose

Fa’asolo o’u mafaufauga
My mind disquieted,

Lo’u tino ua maniti
A sweat overcame me,

Loimata ua maligi
As tear drops fell.

Agi maia ia se matagi
That a wind would arise!

Se’i momoli atu se tali
To bear away my reply

Ia te ia ua ou ioe
To you, that I’m of the same accord

Fia fa’atasi pea ma oe
That my longing to be with you remains

I lo’u nei agaga
And my very soul

Fia maua pea se mafutaga
Yearns to be united

Ana leai lou alofa
Knowing that without your precious love

Semanu ou te le ola
I would surely cease to live.

Ia manuia!
