Lo Ta Nu’u

Share these lyrics:

Lo ta nu’u na ou fanau ai
Ua lelei oe i le vasa e
Ua e maua ai mai luga o le tofi aoga

Samoana (Samoana)
Ala mai
Fai ai nei (fai ai nei)
le fa’afetai
I le pule e maua ai
O lo’u nu’u i le vasa e

E ua lalelei Samoa
Lona valevale noa
E mo’omia ai ou
Fanua, Samoana ala mai

Ua sui lou tautai
Lou mamalu ia mau ai
Tuputupu pea mai
Talu nu’u ua feagai ai

Nu’u mamao ua e maua ai
Mea lelei e atia’e ai
Lou mamalu ia mautu
Mata’upu, tau Iesu

Ia fai oe ma nu’u tumau
Olaola lau fanau
Ia vi’ia e fa’avavau
Le ua pule aoao

My homeland where I was born,
You stand strong in the ocean.
You have received from above
A treasured inheritance.

Samoana (Samoana),
Arise,
Give thanks now (give thanks now)
To the One who has granted
My homeland in the ocean.

Samoa is beautiful,
With its untouched simplicity.
Your lands are cherished,
Samoana, arise.

Your leadership has evolved,
May your dignity endure.
May you continue to grow,
Since the founding of our villages.

Distant lands where you have gained
Good things for development.
May your dignity be steadfast,
Centered on Christ’s teachings.

May you remain a lasting nation,
With flourishing generations.
May the One who reigns supreme
Be praised forever.

An anthem of pride and patriotism about beautiful Samoa. This song is often sung in large church and family gatherings.
