Lyrics
"Goto ifo atu o le la i ona tauafiafi
Ou te fa'alogoina i logo e tolu ua tautagi
Lotu o le afiafi, faapea ma le vaveao
Se mea a ova, o nu'u fa'alelagi
Omai sasa'e omai sisifo tatou o
E su'e se mea e filemu ai o lou loto
O Atafu e sao lelei ai lou agaga
E tasi o le lotu ma o le upu moni lava"

Omai sasa'e omai sisifo tatou o
E su'e se mea e filemu ai o lou loto
O Atafu e sao lelei ai lou agaga
E tasi o le lotu ma o le upu moni lava
I only got the chorus.

Love it! Samoan was tokelaus 2nd language until they learn English! most tokelauans speak fluent samoan because of the missionaries

beautiful. ancient song not even all Samoans today know this song. thank you to our Tokelau aiga.

[@LC22141]

Nakamizo Nakano Not all Samoans know this song because it’s a Tokelau song for the Tokelau people but it’s written in Samoan because of the influence of the Samoan missionaries in the late 1800’s.

[@nikolaspeapea2280]

[@krispelman6792]

Tokelau second language is samoan because of the bible and the missionarys.
