Samoan singing is very melodic and beautiful and I feel heartfelt in the renditions I have heard. I could tell that the computer translation was not quite right so I translated it in a way that I thought made sense to me (after computer translation).
If any Samoans can correct me, please do. I love the way your hymns sound, I would like to make the words right!
Fia vaai ia Oe
Pe afai e leai i….
ni ala auro ma penina
Afai foi e leai i…..
se malo e fa avavau
(Repeat 2x)
Chorus:
Oute le popo le ai (le ai i…)
i nei me amata gofie
O lou naunautaiga,
fia vaai ia Oe,
ia Oe Iesu
Verse 2:
O agelu ua pepese
i le nuu e paia (echo e paia )
Osana ma Aleluia
Viia Oe e faavavau
Bridge:
Fia vaai ia Oe (x3)
Ia Oe Iesu
Faatasi ma Oe (x3)
ma Oe Iesu

Want to see You
If not in….
paths of gold and pearls
And if not in…..
an eternal kingdom

Hosanna and Hallelujah
Praise You forever

I don't need it
I don't need it
