Tali maia

Share these lyrics:

Tali maia o ‘oe lo’u au
Sei fa’amalu ai lo’u mafaufau
Fa’amalu ai fo’i lo’u tuinanau
Ma lo’u tauanau

Sa fai ‘oe ma a’u uo
O ananafi fo’i ma le aso
Nai ou uiga fa’amaualalo
‘E le fa’agalo

{ CHORUS }
Afai ‘e te le fiafia
Alofa ma taumafai
afai fo’i e leai
Pele ‘ea se’i tali mai

Ua ave pea oe ‘i lou agaga
O ‘oe fuga fai ma a’u agasala
Pei o se avega ‘ua mamafa
‘I lo’u nei olaga

Answer me oh my love
Just what sin have I been guilty of
Tell me how I came to lose your love
Please answer me… my love
You were mine yesterday
I believe that love was here to stay
Won’t you tell me where I’ve gone astray
Please answer me… my love

Ua ave pea oe i lo’u agaga
‘O ‘oe fuga fai ma a’u agasala
Pei o se avega ‘ua mamafa
I lo’u nei olaga

Pei o se avega ua mamafa
I lo’u nei olaga

Answer me, you, my love,
To bring peace to my mind,
To calm my desires,
And my pleading heart.

You were my companion,
Yesterday and even today.
Your humble ways
Will never be forgotten.

{ CHORUS }
If you are unhappy,
Show love (mercy on me) and keep trying.
But if it is not possible,
My dear, please answer me.

You remain in my soul.
You are like a blossom, replacing my sins.
It is like a burden too heavy
for my life to bear…

It is like a burden too heavy
for my life to bear…

Something is weighing heavily on this poet’s mind. Has his true love changed her mind about him? Why won’t she say something?
