Tina, Tina ea
O e lagona mai ita
Ta fia fo’i atu i le aiga
Ta le lava le faigata
Po o se sala o se pagota
Ta fia va’ai atu i ou foliga

Tele mea manaia o le olaga nei
Leai lava o se lelei
O fiafiaga uiga ese ma lasi
Ae le suia ai se tali

Tina, Tina ea
O e lagona mai ita
Ta fia fo’i atu i le aiga

A na fou i le va’ai
Ou fa’atosina mai
Ta le’i moe fia fo’i atu ia te oe
E suamalie i la’u tofo
Ae le suia lo’u loto
Fia fo’i atu ae le mafai ona ou nofo

Po’o a ni tupe ma ni oa taua
o seisi lava laufanua
Ae le mafai ua sili lava
le aiga moni ma matua

Tina, Tina ea
O e lagona mai ita
Ta fia fo’i atu i le aiga

Tina, Tina ea
O e lagona mai ita
Ta fia fo’i atu i le aiga
Ta le lava le faigata
Po o se sala o se pagota
Ta fia va’ai atu i ou foliga

Tele mea manaia o le olaga nei
Leai lava o se lelei
O fiafiaga uiga ese ma lasi
Ae le suia ai se tali

Tina, Tina ea
O e lagona mai ita
Ta fia fo’i atu i le aiga

Ta fia va’ai atu i ou foliga

Mother, oh Mother,
Do you hear me?
I long to return to our family.
I cannot endure this hardship.
It feels like the punishment of a prisoner,
Yearning to see your face.

There are so many wonderful things in this life,
Yet none of them truly satisfy.
The fleeting joys, so strange and abundant,
But they cannot offer any true answers.

Mother, oh Mother,
Do you hear me?
I long to return to our family.

If only I had seen things more clearly,
I would have been drawn back to you.
I cannot rest; I long to return to you.
Though the pleasures I’ve tasted are sweet,
They do not change my heart.
I yearn to return—I cannot stay away.

No amount of wealth or treasures
From any other land
Can ever compare to the love
Of one’s true family and parents.

Mother, oh Mother,
Do you hear me?
I long to return to our family.

Mother, oh Mother,
Do you hear me?
I long to return to our family.
I cannot endure this hardship.
It feels like the punishment of a prisoner,
Yearning to see your face.

There are so many wonderful things in this life,
Yet none of them truly satisfy.
The fleeting joys, so strange and abundant,
But they cannot offer any true answers.

Mother, oh Mother,
Do you hear me?
I long to return to our family,
Yearning to see your face.

A very popular tribute song to our mothers and cherishing our families.
