La’u Ma’asoama

Share these lyrics:

“Ma’asoama” is an old school term of affection for a lover or significant other. This classic jam talks about the heartbreak of losing someone you love.
(Rosa Pa’epa’e Version)
Talofa ia oe la’u ma’asoama
ua mou malie leai se tala
ta fia tepa tasi i ou foliga
mamanu e le fa’ataunu’uina
le tausala e ua na o oe,
funa e, i lo’u loto e
le alofa le alofa ma te momoe
le alofa le alofa ma te momoe
Pei o le uluulu o la’au Lepanona
le faigata o le alofa
ua na o se vai o’ona ua ou inumia
lenei mafutaga ae motusia
E faauma ai o lo’u fiafia
le faigauo lea sa lelei
le alofa, le alofa ua fa’auma nei
le alofa, le alofa ua fa’auma nei
Lau amio e faafiafia loto
pe maua ita le loto momomo
Se’i e nofotasi maia i ou tafatafa
ma au upu malu i lo’u agaga
lau amio e agamalu
pei o se lupe ua olotu’u
tofa, tofa, o’u alofa na
tofa, tofa, o’u alofa na

Hey with all due respect but in the first verse of La’u Ma’asoama the line with “mamalu e lei fa’ataunu’uina” does not make sense if translated and according to the contexts of the song. The correct words are ” se ma manu e lei fa’ataunu’uina” and if translated in English including the first line before it means “I want to see your face once more, just before it goes forth” I personally think just my own opinion of the song this line is about the song writer/ singer saying he/her wants to see his/her lover before she/he gets married and is separated forever. I do hope you consider my advice because the Samoan lyrics are very deep and are very rich in meaning therefore have the correct lyrics i very important

Thank you

O my lovely precious beryl
Quietly you fade away
Wish to see you face to face
Before it is too late
My love you are the only one
Darling within my heart
In love, In love I’ll rest
In love, In love I’ll rest

Ferocious roots of Lepanona
Arduous it is to love
Like a poison that I have taken
When our love is disconnected
Put an end to my happiness
Our romance that was so perfect
O love, o love now end
O love, o love now end

Infectious is your joyfulness
Fills my heart with pitiness
Sits by me just one more time
Your soothing words and my heart be fine
Your grace and gentleness
As a dove’s cooed in loneliness
Farewell, farewell with love
Farewell, farewell with love

dis song remind me of a story i read and saddens me because when one lover leaves another whom its love is important to her or a him and of some gossip which cause some harm in our youth, our youth has no choice but to do something bad n remember no matter wat choice we make we chose the path dat leads to gud consequences but not the other way around…hope u take dis advice
