La’u pele ea

Share these lyrics:

La’u pele ea ua o e lagona mai
aisea ea ua e fulitua mai ai
le laga sa i le suau’u ua maima’u ai
o aso sousou e iloa ai o le tautai
o aso sousou e iloa ai o le tautai

O tala a tagata e mai nei i togafiti
o nai mea iti ne’i maumau ai lea sili
le uta o le poto e fetala’i i si ona loto
le uta a le vale e pule ai le ti’apolo
le uta a le vale e pule ai le ti’apolo

La’u pele ia tofa fa’asoifua
o mea na tutupu ou te le toe fia manatua
se ma so’u taimi a nei e ta’u mai i le lagi
aua e le’i fausia roma i se aso e tasi
aua e le’i fausia roma i se aso e tasi

Ua e tau o le pua ma e lafo mai
ina ua a’e le faiva ua tutu i le tai
o leaga uma ma sese ou te inu i ai
e te toe salamo ua masa’a o le ipu vai
e te toe salamo ua masa’a o le ipu vai

alu ia oe ma fa’agalogalo tiga
ae ala o ita e tali o puapuaga
o upu masani, e toe oso pea o le la
alo ia i ou faiva le ula e o ou mama na
alo ia i ou faiva le ula e o ou mama na

La’u pele ia tofa fa’asoifua
O mea na tutupu ou te le’i toe fia manatua
Se ma so’u taimi nei taui mai i le lagi
Aua e le’i fausia Roma i se aso e tasi
Aua e le’i fausia Roma i se aso e tasi

My beloved, can you feel it?
Why have you turned away?
The lamp has been lit, but the oil is wasted.
In stormy days, the true navigator is revealed.
In stormy days, the true navigator is revealed.

The words of people are full of trickery,
Small things could waste great potential.
The cargo of wisdom speaks within its heart,
While the cargo of the fool is ruled by the devil.
While the cargo of the fool is ruled by the devil.

My beloved, farewell, be well.
The things that happened, I no longer want to remember.
Perhaps one day it will be told in heaven,
For Rome was not built in a single day.
For Rome was not built in a single day.

You have plucked the flower and cast it aside,
When the journey arose, it stood against the tide.
All the wrongs and mistakes, I will drink them in,
Only to repent after the cup of water is spilled.
Only to repent after the cup of water is spilled.

Go on and forget your pain,
While I remain to endure the suffering.
It is often said, the sun will rise again,
Sail on in your journey, oh pearl of my soul.
Sail on in your journey, oh pearl of my soul.

My beloved, farewell, be well.
The things that happened, I no longer want to remember.
Perhaps one day it will be rewarded in heaven,
After all, Rome was not built in a single day.
After all, Rome was not built in a single day.

Le Eva Eva band features in this clip. This guy says goodbye to his dear, doesn’t want to remember what lead to the break up, says the sun will rise again. Stuff happens. Let’s have a drink.

The OZKI band released a more contemporary version of this song:
