Le Tu’una Oe
Written by: Josh Tatofi
Manatu le mafutaga a oe ma a’u
O ‘e manatua mai ita
O tumau ita i lou fatu
Po uma ta te talanoa ai
Momo’o sau se aso, sau se aso ta toe fia va’ai
Musu e, e fuli mai lou tua
La’u pele ou te lē tu’una oe
Tau o sau sogi, o lau fusi ia manatua ai
Musu e, e fuli mai lou tua
Le pologa ta lē lavā
Afai o lea, la’u pele ua lava lena
Le fa’anoanoa ua foli mai
Oi aue lo’u fatu a ulufia ai
Le gaosā ua lē mafai na tineia lo’u fia va’ai
Afai ua ‘e fulitua mai
Le fiafia ua au ‘ina vaivai
(ENGLISH)
I’ve been thinking about our relationship
Do you think of me, do I remain in your heart
Every night we would talk
Yearning for the day, waiting for the day I’ll see you again
I can’t bear (to see) you turn your back on me
My darling, I’ll never forsake you
Give me a kiss, let’s embrace so you can remember (us)
I can’t bear (to see) you turn your back on me
This burden is making me weary
But if it’s what you want, my darling, so be it
Sadness has crept back in
My heart is overwhelmed so much (with pain)
No amount of distractions can diminish my longing to see you
But if you still choose to not want me, (any) happiness will fade away.
❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you 😊
@@JoshTatofiMusic Beautiful song Josh. Blessings on this Journey of yours.

been playing this nonstop...it's all there😭😍😍
Le Tu’una Oe
By Josh Tatofi
Fuaiupu Muamua
Manatu, le mafutaga a oe ma a’u
O e manatu mai ita - o tumau ita, I Iou fatu?
Po uma ta te talanoa ai
Momo’o e sau se aso, sau se aso
Ta toe fia vaai
Tali
Musu e, e fuli mai lou tua
La’u pele ou te le tu’una oe
Tau o sau sogi, o lau fusi ia manatua ai
Musu e, e fuli mai lou tua
Le pologa, ta lelava
Afai o lea, la’u pele, ua lava lena
Fuaiupu Lua
Le fa’anoanoa ua fo’i mai
Oi aue! Lo’u fatu ua ulufia ai le gaosa
Ua le mafai na tineia lo’u fia vaai
Afai ua e fulitua mai
Le fiafia ua au ina vaivai
____________________________________________________
Verse One
I think upon, the relationship between you and I
Do you remember me - do I remain in your heart?
Every night we would talk
I yearn for the day, I wait for that day
I want to see (you again)
Chorus
Alas! You turn your back on me
My darling, I will never forsake you
Give me a kiss and your embrace so I can remember (us)
Alas! You turn your back on me
This burden is making me weary
But if this is what you want - my darling, so be it
Verse Two
The sorrow has returned back (to me)
Oh my! My heart is feeling overwhelmed with so much (pain)
I can’t resist wanting to look (at you)
But if you (still choose) to not want me
Then the happiness will begin to fade
***My translation of the tokos song. Malo JT! Looking forward to seeing you in Melbourne next month PS I hope I translated the essence of what you were trying to convey in our language
Beautiful translation!!!
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH for the translation of this beautiful song😊 Love from Germany❤❤❤
@@mukagirl123 cheers!
@moanar5433 no probs :) alofas from Melb!
Yes this is ti!!! The formal samoan using the formal english to translate, this is beautifully translated
Thank you! The whole of Samoa will be listening to this non-stop for the next 4 months 😂🇼🇸🇼🇸🇼🇸
Every recording studio in Samoa be making covers 😂
@@Ponti690And noone died from it ☺️
😂 sa’o lelei
😂
Original song, does Samoa even know what an original is? 🤣
Thank you. This is a masterpiece 🩵 Raise your hand if you can’t stop listening to this 🙋♀️
🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️
Fa’afetai for brining back what we all long for.. old school Samoan vibe classics 🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸
It’s giving old school Samoan vibes🥹❤️
I was gonna quit drinking this weekend but thanks to Josh that aint happening anymore🍻😂 garage drinkup jams type shi❤️
Yessah
Same😮💨😅
Damn right!!😂
😂😂😂😂
Same here wow another classic drinking song..Mahalo Josh..
Malo le taumafai Josh faamanuia le Atua i le taleni ua ia foa'i mo oe😭😭😭.
This has all the elements of five stars, golden aliis and a malia & alapati classic. The way it exhudes all the feels and magic of a Samoan love ballad is exhilarating. Originality is truly something that is missing in today's music. The awe of it being written and sung by a Tongan crooner in our native language is icing on the cake. Fa'afetai tele lava Josh for the gift of music ❤
Josh Mate. you made me cry😭💔💔 my late Dad loved your voice and traditional songs you sing😭😭💔 he loved you Mate❤❤❤❤. Pacific Soul RIP Daddy Lalokau❤😭❤️❤️🇵🇬🇦🇺❤❤❤
I'm not Samoan but this song makes me wish I was. So dreamy!
This is giving all the 60s and 70s Samoan bands that serenaded us all with beautiful Samoan love songs. Even the formal samoan language is being used in this!
This made me crying bring back good memories of my parents ❤️🤟🏿🔥😢
Man..This is one of the best Samoan songs I have ever listened to, the lyrics, the emotions it evokes and Josh with his powerful but well-controlled effortless voice makes this songs even more heartfelt. Gosh..I'm holding my heart and teary-eyed!!!
Malo lelei, Fa'afetai tele lava, Fakafetai lasi, Thank you-thank you so much for this beautiful creation, Josh. My thoughts go back to my parents as they are waltzing to any Samoan Classic oldie as the children are giggling and watching them float across the living room (tears). God has blessed you with this talent of music-creating your own sound/medley, lyrics and truly makes me want to have a marriage like my parents (loving one another). Thank you for sharing your God given gift to me and the rest of the world. Ofa lahi atu
Loving the old school Samoan vibes. Brings back sweet memories of seeing my parents slow dancing. 🥺🇼🇸♥️♥️
Thank you Josh Tatofi for this song!!!! My brother in law passed a few days after this song was released. This song makes us ALL cry (I’m aware it’s a lovers’ song) but you should know this 🔥 song is helping heal a grieving family!😍 Faafetai! Ofa Lahi Atu
i don't understand the words but it shows love 😊😊 from west papua to all the Melanesian out there God bless us
Only a matter of days now till I uosi to this song in RSA Live Band Night with someones aunty before midnight then the lights come back on and its not aunty but auntay. Amazing song uso ❤💯
😂
This is making me nostalgic. Sitting with my grandma listening to her old school Samoan jams in the living room lol 🥹❤️
I don't understand this song...but I feel this song so deeply, blowing my mind far away...I love it, I love You Josh...keep singing your song always.
The lyrics is amazing on point
You can never get sick of listening to this beautiful piece 😍
I’ve been waiting for him to make a Samoan song, and he did not disappoint. Can’t wait for more Samoan songs. And also to request to cover some Samoan songs please❤❤#Joshtatofi #1Fan
I was waiting for this moment to hear you sing something in our native tongue and you didn’t disappoint! ❤❤❤ofa lahi atu Josh! Keep it coming 🔥🔥🔥
Wow what a beautiful song😍❤ love from 🇿🇦
Ouahhh!! Toko don’t miss 🙌🏾, don’t understand a word but my toko bring them FeelzZ!! 💙💙
This is our fave song with my husband 🥹🥰Keep it coming Josh😭❤️
Being half Samoan & Tongan. I can really appreciate this song more than you know toko 🙌. Thank you ❤️TokoUso
Malie toko malie we the Samoa culture count you as 1 of us we all 1 🤙 mahalo faafetai tele lava
Absolutely beautiful!! I’m Tongan and don’t understand the words but feels like crying!!
We r one toko I'm Samoan and don't understand fully but nonetheless brings the vibes and love and reminder of proud being Samoan when MUM was alive and the great memories . But lately I've been feeling somewhat embarrassed of being Samoan with all the on goings of what's happening in Samoa with corruption hate amongst our own and just silly bickerings between families and husbands and wives and the judgemental FAKENESS as well as homophobia just ridiculous and the music just not the same just lost . And than this beautiful Tongan man that I've learned to love and admire together with Fiji bringing back the pride of being not only Samoan but ab Islander of humble love and kindness beginnings that I once was so proud of has regained due to this beautiful young man and Fiji . Love for all my Islander brothers and sisters Tonga Samoa cookies nuie tokelau and our Fijians and all non western AIGA PNG Maori Aboriginal Torres's straight Tahitian hawaiian famz all abroad far and near let us unite and love respect one another throughout in music sports whatever and wherever we may be I sincerely with all that I am love you all whole heartedly mind body and soul always 4221 ❤️🔥❤️🔥🔥🔥💪💪☝️☝️❤️❤️😇😎💋💋💋
Tangi pe koe 😢faka'ofo'ofa pe ia👌🥰
Toko!!!! You nailed it🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 love the old sku feels
I love it Toko... The most talented Tongan i know. Malie Josh👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤ ofa atu
Wow! Finally! I've always wanted to hear you sing a Samoan song. #1 song 2024 faafetai Josh.

Must go to Samoa ❤❤❤❤
Its the chorus for me😭😭😭 thank you uso for this beautiful song
Beautiful ❤️💛💚 I can see our reigning Miss Samoa / Miss Pacific Islands Moemoana dancing gracefully to this!! 😍
Josh has done what our other artists today are not able to do: original music! Original medley, lyrics, and beat.
Malo lava, been wanting a new original song for some time and not rehashing of palagi pop songs and tunes in Samoan. 🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴
Bruhhh? Why are you PRETENDING TO BE Samoan Huhhh???... I'm pretty SURE you're NOT. If you were Samoan, or knew ANYTHING about Samoa, you wouldn't be making such A STUPID and non-sensical remark. Your DISHONEST and DIVISIVE "statements" about my people AS A NATION OF MANY, MANY, Original AND Creative Music, Songs, Art Forms etc... IS Offensive AND CHILDISH, For REAL. STOP The Hate AND STOP Spouting your BS. We, Samoans got NOTHING TO PROVE TO INSECURE AND Hateful people like you. KEEP IT REAL bruh🤙🏼 but MOST OF ALL...KEEP The Peace, DON'T BE DIVISIVE.
LOLLL... Samoans, along with our Thousands of Original Songs/Music, Gifts, Talents,... in The Different Art FORMS... have NOTHING to prove to our Haters and Divisive, Insecure, individuals such as yourself." But "WHATEVER" makes you sleep like a pēpē at night. Soifua..
@@zm1172hey they didn’t mean any harm or any disrespect I just read the comment and it’s speaking of todays music and artists not all but majority don’t really do original music anymore . Nothing wrong with covers but what I think they speaking on is it’s nice to see original they’re complimenting the nice work and giving credit to the artist for coming up with an original which is rare these days. Most polynesian songs are just covers and remakes of old classics or mainstream songs nothing wrong with them but an original to be done in Samoan in this day and age and in this style is overwhelming and food for the soul. Don’t take everything so personal there was no hate coming from them it kills the vibe of the song. just listen to the music and enjoy relax 😌 ❤
@@KingKong-wd5qk First off, if you REALLY read the comments, you wouldn't have felt the need to be the Spokesperson👍🏼 Because not only is it offensive, but you BEST BELIEVE (as a Samoan) I'm going to take it PERSONAL. "Both" ignorant and divisive comments were specific to Samoans in general. Let's KEEP IT Real ok? Secondly, that is one Hell of a DISHONEST comparison/opinion to make, considering it's based off of YOUR OWN Personal Bias and "Feelings" towards one of your "peeps." Samoa/Samoans ARE A Nation of MOSTLY Authenticity AND Originality..BLESSED AND GIFTED people IN MANY Different ART Forms and IN LIFE as a whole. The PROOF is out there for The world, people, or "anyone" to see, let alone HONEST "enough" to acknowledge it. Granted, ALL of The Pacifica (including your culture👍🏼) IS guilty of this very thing- copying/sampling etc.. BOTTOM LINE IS this... If you 'wanna give props to your fellow country men, GO FOR IT🤙🏼 I'm ALL FOR IT👍🏼 BUT DON'T Disrespect my people, An ENTIRE Nation, with SILLY Comparisons of IGNORANT, DIVISIVE, (AND putting it FRANKLY,) Hateful comments. I see this BS one TOO MANY TIMES AND IT'S NOT OK, Period. So like you said, Chill AND ENJOY the music (EVERYONE,) DON'T KILL the "Vibe" w/Silly, Ignorant, Disrespectful comments. It reeks of Jealousy. REAL TALK👍🏼 Fa'afetai lava.. Tofa laia.
@@zm1172 It's okay for people to have an opinion that you don't. Josh's new music offers something new to the ear which is really refreshing.
Sometimes covers offers something new than the original, but tbh there's only so many times I can hear covers of Tama Samoa (a great original song by Felise Mikaele) or George Whittaker but in Samoan before it becomes incredibly repetitive
oka se aulelei o upu o lenei pese❤❤uiga moni lava
I Love this Song ..reminiscing memories.
VERY BIG FAN OF YOUR WORK AND MUSIC DOKO JOSH AND YOUR VOICE IS A GIFT THAT MAKES A SIN FORGIVEN... THANKYOU FOR THIS BEAUTIFULL SAMOAN ORIGINAL BRINGS SOO MUCH COMFORT AND PEACE TO A SOUL THAT IS IN PAIN.... FAKAFETAI TOKO... SOO IM GOING TO PRACTICE IT TO SING IT ON OUR BAND HERE IN SAMOA ...
