English translation and discussion: Naumati LagonaDestitute and alone, the feeling is like a desperate thirst for water, or wine that’s become bitter, or a ship that’s run aground… Feeling that pain.
(Laga Savea performs this gorgeous rendition of a Five Star classic.)
Naumati lagona mamao fo’i lo’u aiga
To’a le aisa, o’ona foi le uaina
Mafana le mafutaga o oe le tausala
Faigata mea uma ua goto i le va’a
Fia fau se fale lelei mo oe
Talofa e leai o se kamuta o totoe
{ CHORUS }
Aisea na e le tu’ua ai se tasi
Pogisa mea uma
Pogisa mea uma i le ma’asiasi (x2)
Talanoa i manatu ua ta mafana
Lilo i le loto, e ese lou agaga
Ita e ua mao manatu atu
E le afaina, e tata pea lo’u fatu
E onosa’i fo’i pea si ou nei tagata
Faamagalo le tu’inanau ua o’u nei mata
{ REPEAT CHORUS }
