Valovalo Mai(composed by Penina o Tiafau) | |

E valovalo mai ‘o manu o le vaveao e Ta fia faʻalogo suga ‘i sou leo e ‘Ā ‘e tiʻetiʻe ane i lau pāsika ‘Ae ‘ou suʻeina ‘o ‘oe i lau faiva
‘Oi la ta ‘asoa ‘oe, ‘o la ta ‘ula lilo e Laʻu mama suʻe tupe, laʻu taulima e ‘O le alofa i le mānamea e ‘O laʻu ‘ula suʻi pua e
Tali: Tua tua i moana Tua i moana, tua i moana tā tuʻugātala E ā, e ā Fai maia sau ‘upu Pē tua i ni mala Pē tua i manū Sau funa laʻu pele, sau ma sina ipu vai mālū Seʻi inu ane ai, tama o le nuʻu |
Morning birds softly chirp As I long to hear your voice As you ride along on your bicycle I search for you
You are my garland, my cherished lei My prized ring, my bracelet The love I have for my sweetheart I weave together in a plumeria lei
Beyond the deep sea Beyond the deep sea, we exchanged words What of it now? Send word my way Is it one of tragedy? Is it one of triumph? Come, my darling, with a glass of cool water To quench the thirst of this humble village boy |
