Lo’u au e, la’u pele ea

Lo’u au e, la’u pele ‘ea
o le alofa ua fa’avalea
ua ‘avea oe ma manamea
lo’u tuinanau po ‘o fea ‘ea
Ua le maua o sa’u moe
Mafaufauga e, ua na’o oe
Ou foliga e, e tumau i lo’u loto e

Sa ou fesili i fetu
e molimau i lau amio malu
i’a o le sami se’i tali mai
oi lo’u au e, po’o fea o i ai
o mo’omo’oga o lo’u agaga
ia liua oe ma fua matala
le auro lea la’u pele oe la’u tausala

Manu lele ea
Se’i fa’aali mai
La’u pele moni e
ta fia fa’alogo i ai

E se mea a faigata
lenei alofa pe a uma
La’u ma’a taua,
lo’u alofa e le liua

Ua fasia ita i o’u mafaufauga
lo’u faavalea ia oe funa
e manatua ai i lo’u loto
o upu a Solomona le poto
Le alofa o se mea tiga
maligi ai o’u loimata
la’u ula tifa o oe o la’u penina

Aue tagi e, lo’u mafaufau
Ua ta’e la’u ipu i le tuinanau
O’u moomooga i aso uma
ta fia fa’atasi ma oe le rosa
Lau mama lea ou te teuina
O le va’aiga i ou foliga
Mmmmmmmm…

Manu lele ea
Se’i fa’aali mai
La’u pele moni e
Ta fia fa’alogo i ai

E se mea a faigata
lenei alofa pe a uma
La’u ma’a taua lo’u alofa e le liua
MMMMmmmm….

My beloved, my dear one,
Love has driven me crazy,
You have become my treasure,
My yearning—where are you?

I cannot find rest or sleep,
Thoughts only dwell on you,
Your image remains engraved in my heart.

I asked the stars,
To witness your gentle ways,
Fish of the sea, please answer,
Oh, my beloved, where are you?

The longing of my soul,
Is to see you bloom like a flower,
Golden one, my dear, my noble lady.

Oh, flying birds,
Please reveal,
My true love,
I long to hear from you.

Love is not easy,
It feels so final when it ends,
My precious stone,
My love will never fade.

I am tormented by my thoughts,
Driven mad because of you,
It reminds me in my heart,
Of Solomon’s wise words:

“Love is a painful thing,”
It makes my tears fall,
My pearl necklace—you are my jewel.

Alas, my mind laments,
My cup of yearning is shattered,
My longing each day,
Is to be with you, my rose.

Your ring, which I cherish,
Reminds me of your image,
Mmmmmmmm…

Oh, flying birds,
Please reveal,
My true love,
I long to hear from you.

Love is not easy,
It feels so final when it ends,
My precious stone, my love will never fade.
MMMMmmmm…

This song was sampled in a catchy, more contemporary jam by Sons of Samoa ft. Kas Futialo
