Sulu i le Papa Gagala

Share these lyrics:

Maniuniu e le popo pei o le upu i le fa’alolo
Samoa e, ua ao i le poto
Ou te le tau fa’ailoa o lau vaai ma lau fa’alogo
Ou te ta’utino atu lava oute feololo
Ta te le fa’amalimali, Samoa e ua e niu ali
Le ava ma lona siliaga o a’u totino a’ia’i
Feausi mai ma tama’ita’i, vaaia ma ala e uli ma toto a’i
Ma i iole niniva ua vili tau i lona tumua’i
Niniva ma Punialava’a ua e masani
O le ele’ele lena atoa ma le sami
Ou te le tau fa’aali ua iloa a e le lalolagi
E, Punialava’a na e taeao lasi
Ou te le fatufatu tala, e alalaga mai lava o ma’a
Sulu i le papa gagala
Na leo e le siapo gagana
O le vai lena o tausala
Sina le tetea na fa’alala tama
Na elei tino toto o taulaga palu ai o le lama
Ta te le fa’a’ala’ala pe toe si’i se mata lalaga
O lau pule o le fa’atupugā ava ati mamala
Le nu’u o aitu tagata,
iole, fe’e, tuna ma le ve’a faitama,
Le moa ula moa ta’a e vivini na pupuni le alava’a
Ta te le fia aniani na’o le tafili ma fa’aaviavi
Samoa e, o Ti’iti’iatalaga lava na na fasi
E sauai sa nofo i le efu
O nivaniva sa pulea o le afi
Aumai i le mauga fiafia ua fa’avela ai tausami
E, Punialava’a ta savalivali
E, Punialava’a na e taeao lasi

Beautiful song and I wish I know the actual words to this amazing song written and sung by the one and only Punialavaa.
The one thing i know for sure oloo sese I upu ole pese o loo I luga e le sa’o le tietie ia talaga. Suppose to be Ti’iti’iatalaga. He was one of the strongest warrior back in the days. Wish one of the punialavaa crew put lyrics up for everyone to see
