Pō Mālamalama

(composed  by Dr. Grant Muāgututiʻa)

Faʻasapa si ou sei

ʻIʻila nai ou mata

I le ata o le māsina

E malutia ai tāʻua

Faʻamalu e le ʻaniva

Ō tāʻua moʻomoʻoga

Faʻamāonia e ou ʻaʻao

Tautōga o le alofa

 

Tali:

E iʻinā tāʻua

I le pō mālamalama

Ufitia i fetū

Loto māfanafana

E iʻinā tāʻua

E galo ai le faigatā

Naʻo tāʻua lava

E faʻataunuʻu le alofa

 

Musumusu peau

I le oneone tioata

Māluelue mālie

I le tafa mai o ata

Agi mālū le savili

ʻAe fia fai maia sau tala

Seʻi oʻu tago atu loa

Toe sogi tasi mai lava

A flower dangles from your ear

As your eyes glisten.

Under the shadow of the moon,

The two of us find shelter.

The light of the Milky Way

Shields the yearnings of our hearts,

As we fulfill

The promises of love.

 

Chorus:

There we are (just the two of us)

On a moonlight night

Covered by stars

That warm our hearts.

There we are (just the two of us)

All our cares forgotten.

Just the two of us

Embodying our love.

 

The waves whisper

Upon the glimmering sand,

Gently swaying

In the dimmed light of dawn.

The breeze gently blows,

And you beckon to me

That I might reach out

For just one more kiss.
