Usi lau fa’alōgo, ae se’i o’u tala ‘oto’oto
Le siva Samoa, e pele lava i si o’u loto
Ta te moemiti i nai ona taga, pe ā fai o le ā fa’asolo
E ofo ‘o si o’u loto, e tau lē mau fo’i au nofo

Atunu’u uma ou te ta’utino atu e sili o le siva Samoa
Afai lā e te fia talitonu, sau ia se’i e maimoa
Isi ona faiga e fesuisuia’i e lē tumau i se meā e tasi
E lē gata i le se’e, tino’ao fa’amane’ene’e

Silasila la’ia, o le nā o lo ua amata
O le ā sa’asa’a o lē tamali’i i le tatālaga
A o tagata muamua, ‘o ‘aiuli e to’alua
Tau tuliususū, osō i luga fo’i ma fa’apa’ū

Silasila la’ia, o le nā o lo ua amata
O le a sa’asa’a o le tamali’i i le tatālaga
A o tagata muamua, ‘o ‘aiuli e to’alua
Tau tuliususū, osō i luga fo’i ma fa’apa’ū

Silasila la’ia, o le nā o lo ua amata
O le a sa’asa’a o le tamali’i i le tatālaga
A o tagata muamua, ‘o ‘aiuli e to’alua
Tau tuliususū, osō i luga fo’i ma fa’apa’ū

Atunu’u uma ou te ta’utino atu e sili o le siva Samoa
Afai lā e te fia talitonu, sau ia se’i e maimoa
Isi ona faiga e fesuisuia’i e lē tumau i se meā e tasi
E lē gata i le se’e, tino’ao fa’amane’ene’e

O le toa lenā, a tagata lautēle
So’o se tasi e siva, e tutusa uma tama ma teine
Siva ma le mata’ata’atā, le poula ua maualugā
Fa’ali lou fiafia, i si au siva Samoā

O le toa lenā, a tagata lautele
So’o se tasi e siva, e tutusa uma tama ma teine
Siva ma le mata’ata’atā, le poula ua maualugā
Fa’ali lou fiafia, i si au siva Samoā

Atunu’u uma ou te ta’utino atu e sili o le siva Samoa
Afai lā e te fia talitonu, sau ia se’i e maimoa
Isi ona faiga e fesuisuia’i e lē tumau i se meā e tasi
E lē gata i le se’e, tino’ao fa’amane’ene’e

Ua lamalama taualūga, ae muamua le fa’ātafiti
Ua lata ona fa’ai’u, se’ī sasae o le mata o le aitu
Fa’aali lou onomea, aua le faia uma au mea
Ma le po tausala, ua tetele le faigamea

Ua lamalama taualūga, ae muamua le fa’ātafiti
Ua lata ona fa’ai’u, se’ī sasae o le mata o le aitu
Fa’aali lou onomea, aua le faia uma au mea
Ma le po tausala, ua tetele le faigamea

Atunu’u uma ou te ta’utino atu e sili o le siva Samoa
Afai la e te fia talitonu, sau ia se’i e maimoa
Isi ona faiga e fesuisuia’i e lē tumau i se meā e tasi
E lē gata i le se’e, tino’ao fa’amane’ene’e

Atunu’u uma ou te ta’utino atu e sili o le siva Samoa
Afai la e te fia talitonu, sau ia se’i e maimoa
Isi ona faiga e fesuisuia’i e lē tumau i se meā e tasi
E lē gata i le se’e, tino’ao fa’amane’ene’e

O lē taualuga, o le ā fa’ai’u mea uma
Olioli malie teuteu mai iā matagofie
Maualuga o le masina, ua emo mai foi le uila
E o le siva Samoa, auā le aumaimoa

Tautuliususū, oulua ‘aiuli
Siva tāfitifiti, o le po ma le pati ia ma’ini
Lue mai lou ulu, ae sa lava le siva ‘aiu’u
Siva fa’aeteete ona o le poula ua tetele

E le augafa’apae, afio mai inā sausaunoa
Teuteu mai loa o le mamalu ua potopotō
Ia mo’emo’e malie, fa’atamali’i mai au taga
Ia olo le fua, ua mamalu le fa’agatama

Fai ou la’ei, e te masani ai
Fa’aali lau fa’asolo, pale i le pale fuionō
Mamaluo o lou tuiga, tu’u i ai nai ou penina
‘Ata’ata mai loa, ua sili lava o le siva Samoa

E le augafa’apae, afio mai inā sausaunoa
Teuteu mai loa o le mamalu ua potopotō
Ia mo’emo’e malie, fa’atamali’i nai au taga
Ia olo le fua, ua mamalu le fa’agatama

Fai ou la’ei, e te masani ai
Fa’aali lau fa’asolo, pale i le pale fuionō
Mamalu o lou tuiga, tu’u i ai nai ou penina
‘Ata’ata mai loa, ua sili lava o le siva Samoa

Atunu’u uma ou te ta’utino atu e sili o le siva Samoa
Afai lā e te fia talitonu, sau ia se’i e maimoa
Isi ona faiga e fesuisuia’i e lē tumau i se meā e tasi
E lē gata i le se’e, tino’ao fa’amane’ene’e

Teacher, listen closely

Listen closely, as I summarize
the Samoan dance, which is dear to my heart.
We dream of its movements, when performed in sequence.
My heart is amazed, it cannot remain still.

I declare to all nations that the Samoan dance is the best.
If you wish to believe it, come and watch.
Its styles are ever-changing, never fixed on one thing.
Not just graceful slides, but majestic movements of the body.

Look there, it is just beginning.
The chief’s moves are unfolding.
Meanwhile, the first dancers perform in pairs,
stamping their feet, jumping, and falling again.


Look there, it is just beginning.
The chief’s moves are unfolding.
Meanwhile, the first dancers perform in pairs,
stamping their feet, jumping, and falling again.

I declare to all nations that the Samoan dance is the best.
If you wish to believe it, come and watch.
Its styles are ever-changing, never fixed on one thing.
Not just graceful slides, but majestic movements of the body.

Such bravery belongs to the common people.
Everyone dances equally, men and women alike.
Dance with joy, celebrating the grand occasion.
Express your happiness through the Samoan dance.

I declare to all nations that the Samoan dance is the best.
If you wish to believe it, come and watch.
Its styles are ever-changing, never fixed on one thing.
Not just graceful slides, but majestic movements of the body.

The lamps are lit high, but the first preparation comes.
The end is near; reveal the essence of the spirit.
Show your true beauty; don’t reveal all your secrets.
With the celebration night, the grand festivity grows.

I declare to all nations that the Samoan dance is the best.
If you wish to believe it, come and watch.
Its styles are ever-changing, never fixed on one thing.
Not just graceful slides, but majestic movements of the body.

The finale of the taualuga, when all things conclude.
Rejoice joyfully, adorned in splendor.
The moon shines high, and lightning flashes too.
And the Samoan dance captivates all who watch.

Stamp your feet, join the two dancers.
Dance in rhythm; let the night and party sparkle.
Sway your head, but keep the final moves precise.
Dance carefully, as the grand occasion demands.

Make your preparations, honor the gathering.
Celebrate the assembled dignitaries.
Move gracefully, act with nobility.
Polish your movements; the tradition is exalted.

Dress yourself in familiar attire.
Showcase your sequences, crowned with adorned garlands.
The splendor of your headpiece, adorned with pearls.
Smile brightly, for the Samoan dance surpasses all.
