Lyrics

• Samoan
• English Translation

Aue, aue, le faigata
Ua pa'u fa'anoanoa
Aue, aue, fa'ataga ola
Lena la'u talosaga
(E manu malo)

Tele tele mana e o te vavau (Vavau)
Tau ke tu ke manumalo
Ke manumalo

Aue, aue, mana e o te vavau
Tau ke tu ke manumalo
Ke manumalo
Ke manumalo
Ke manumalo

Oh, oh, the difficulty
The sadness is falling
Oh, my God, let us live
That's my request
(The beasts of the kingdom)

Great power and eternity (forever)
If you're going to win
If you win

Oh, my God, power and eternity
If you're going to win
If you win
If you win
If you win
