Lyrics
Tulou...
Tulou...
Tagaloa.
Sei e va'ai mai
I le tātou lalolagi
Sei e va'ai mai
I le mātou lalolagi
Sei e mālamalama
[Ko au e tu atu]
E lelei ma le mānaia
[Toku manatu]
Sei e va'ai mai ia
[E taunuku te malaga]
Mānaia o le tātou ōlaga.
Pardon us...
Pardon us...
Oh Tagaloa.
Look down
Upon our world
Look down
Upon our world.
The light
[I stand before you]
It is good and beautiful
[My desire]
Look down
[The journey has begun]
At how beautiful our lives are.
