You can still learn samoan though ❤️ E mafai ona e faia 🙏 (you can do it 🙏)
you can actually search up the lyrics and translate it on google translate it won't be the exact translation but it's a beautiful meaning behind this song. I am samoan and personally don't know the language but try and learn bit by bit
Same goosebumps all the time especially when I'm listening to polynesian music or watching Maori Hakas!

Afio ane loa le auga fa'apae
Se'i sausaunoa la'ei Samoa
Amata ususu o le aiuli alu i le atoa
Sulu i le malo ma malu ai le tuiga
Salani i le nu'u ua ua ova le i'ila
Maualuga ai o le ta aso ua sili le mataina
Chorus
Fai mamalu le faiva
E sili i le silasila
Tau lau agava'a
I si ou sa'asa'a
E le mavae le mamalu nai ou la'ei
E sili atu lava i ona po nei
La'ei Samoa e mamalu ai lava lou sausaunoa
Verse 2
Fia olo ane le fua ma le pa'o
Fai fai malie o le pati ma le po
Se'i fa'asolo faiva ua saunia mo lenei aso
Soa lautele lava le fa'atafiti
Taualuga le so'ona tafitifiti
E ute o fiafiaga fa'aSamoa moni lava ua sili
Verse 3 (Aiga Verse)
O matou o Aiga, mai le Motu o Hawaii. Faasalalau le gagana Samoa mai iinei i Highlands. O le ala Samoa o le auala a tatou motu

To my samoan relatives n other samoan brothers and sisters ofa lahi atu, even if we from different islands we share the same culture values family values n never forget faka apa apa(respect in tongan). Just can't enough of the culture showcase of my samoan cousins in the main industry. Sheeesh 🔥🔥🔥 bless up tree.
*lessssssgoooooooo!*
I’m Cook Island and I was absolutely moved with tears of this song and video, I love it so much. Our new jam at work, Beautiful. ❤️
I'm Māori/Samoan and I may not know what this song is about, but I can feel it. Proud to be Samoan ❤️❤️❤️❤️
"Absolutely Stunning"!, as a child my dad always told me, "no matter where this world takes you, "Never Forget" who you are and where you came from, it will help you climb the Highest Mountains and swim the Deepest Oceans"!!!
I'm kuki but I'm sure I'm quarter sa somewhere in my roots 😆 that was dope💯 visuals are on🔥
@@ryankanton Fiji was first inhabited by Lapita people's: It's science proven and 100 % facts!!
Later large migrations of Melanesians arrived in 1000AD outnumbering the Lapita people's in Fiji, other lapita people's had already left for Sāmoa and Tonga 1500 years before christ existence, large migrations were still going on towards the eastern part of Polynesia. The tuiga's you see, which is a Sāmoan headpiece from the kingdom of Manu'a.The legend goes the Prince of Manu'a was trying to court the princess from Upolu, because he was unattractive and after trying with so many attempts, he had used the shells,fala and other materials around at the time to create what we know as a Tuiga.It soon became Teu Fa'aSāmoa really quickly. And that is the facts. Moreover this has nothing to do with Africa or your Melanesian, stop the trolling. Each part of Sāmoa has different attires from ie tóga's, valavala's, kiki fulufulumoa, lipene,lauti, fau,sei, pale's,etc..Ula fala, nifo,moso'oi etc..Selu tuiga, and many more.Many of Sāmoa's current attires originate from Manu'a,Upolu and Savai'i. Malofie Sāmoa is from Fitiuta,Manu'a facts. Seriously Melanesian people with Malofie get a life.Worry about poverty and ending civil war in Africa or Melanesia.In Sāmoa we never go hungry.We love our cultures it's truly Sāmoan and nothing else!!
#Teu Fa'aManu'a #Teu Fa'aSāmoa #Manu'a #Sāmoa
Proud moment. Hats off to everyone especially the uce Carlin!
I am Samoan and this short movie made me PROUD to be a SAMOAN PACIFIC WOMAN!!! Once again TREE you out did yourself and made us TEINE SAMOA PROUD!!! MUCH ALOFA'S CHEEEHUUUU!!!
Showed this to my Samoan partner and I have a feeling they felt a bit more pride on their heritage. Samoans are truly a wonderful people. Much love from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
thank you
I always LOVE seeing such strong, unwavering cultural roots being proudly displayed and supported throughout the test of time. 💕💖💕 Seriously, it makes me wish that my people had the same pride and passion for our culture, instead of being shamed for 500 years to forget it... (I’m Mexican, American...more northern than the Aztecs, but more southern than traditional Native Americans from the USA) Indigenous Cultures are too beautiful for words. 💖
Never too late to pick up what was lost.. I wish that never happened, but do know that you have this Samoan in Awe of your culture ! its traditions. customs is beautiful ! dont get me started on the food!
THEDON FONZ Aww, thank you! 💞🥰💞 You are soo sweet!!
Full cook island & I sing this like I’m a Samoan , love this song
Im Samoan...and YES did you know even when we sing all other Pacific island song there is no wrong with the pronounciation of the words, im sure you too like youve mentioned...yes even when we speak different language but when we sing we are all connected. Pacific People are connected through our culture and our songs.
I'm a young samoan girl, and this song just takes me places. I grew up following and loving my culture, but never was really proud of it due to its popularity, but now i know this song and its meaning, I couldn’t be more proud of who I am. My culture is amazing and beautiful, and I am grateful to be who I am today. Thank you Aunty Tree for making this song because it helped me fall in love with my culture all over again. ❤🇦🇸🇼🇸🙏🏽❤️
I'm glad you embraced your culture my daughter is half Samoan and black and I try to make sure she stays up on her poly side. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Much love
"Once you learn of my journey, only then will you understand who I am as a proud Samoan woman" 🇼🇸♥️ Beyond proud of you my good sis. Wear our pride each day of your life as you walk your malu journey ♥️ Malo sis. Alofa aku 🇼🇸‼️

I am not Samoan but I heard this song once, learnt the lyrics the next day and it has been my go to song when I'm down. Absolutely beautiful song 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
As a samoan girl, I really love this music! It is my favorite. It calms me and lets my anger out.
I got a lot of homies from Long Beach SOS that go hard on they enemies. After watching how beautiful the Samoan culture is in this video it’s sad to know my USO’s is still banging on one another.
Preach bruh..I'm in Oceanside and it's sad seeing myUsos stuck in the matrix ghetto life..If I had the money I'd pay ALL our fares to Upolu where we'd all be schooled back into Culture Shape sole, Cheeehoooo!!

Samoan people are known for their warm smiles and friendly personalities. They have a gift for welcoming and accepting just about anyone they meet. So it's no surprise that qualities such as hospitality, cooperation, respect, and consensus are highly valued in Samoan culture. Samoas travel through boats and through Islands and Islands to provide for their family. Were so called Sisters and brothers, you should appreciate having dark brown beautiful natural skin... We are brave and strong with highly respect!!
Wow this is a very beautiful prayer song, brought tears to my eyes. I can feel this deep in my Spirit. Thank you for sharing with us. Pure Beautiful Strong Breath Taking and so much more🌺💞Thank You All🙏🤟
God bless you ❤ Toa Samoa 🇼🇸 Elelei mea uma ❤
