FALIU LE LA

Faliu le la i lona tauafiafi
As the sun begins to set in the evening,

Le la o samoa ua felanulanua’i
The Samoan Sun becomes vibrant and colorful.

Ua felanua'i ona ave i le lagi, ioe ta fia savalivali
Its rays illuminate and colorfully paint the sky, as I take a stroll

Ua agi malu le tau afiafi, ina ua tuana'i atu o le la'i
In the cool evening breeze, after the Tradewinds blow

Tau ane sou sei e te tiu ai, tafao ane ia ma feliuliua'i
Pick a flower for you to wear, as you wander around

I le solo o tama'ita'i
In line with a crowd of young women

Savalivali ane i le laugatasi
Walking through the meadow

Sasala le manogi o latou ula laga’ali
Air filled with the sweet fragrance of the laga'ali lei

Manaia le fegasaloa'i lafo ia latou ata i le sami
Casting their shadows in the sea as they walk by. Oh how beautiful!

Omai ia tatou mua ia Samoa ma si ona laufanua Come! Let's celebrate Samoa and her beauty

Omai ia tatou mua ia Samoa ma si ona laufanua Come! Let's celebrate Samoa and her beauty

Mua O! Mua O! Mua O!
