Old Samoan song about the Octopus & the Rat
Recorded at mum's house.
Celebrating Samoan Language Week May 30 - Jun 5 2021
Si fe’e, si fe’e (Octopus, Octopus)
Ao lau lama, Ao lau lama (Collect your soot, collect your soot) candlenut soot (black ink)
Ao ia tele… eeeee (Collect many)
Si fe’e, si fe’e (Octopus, Octopus)
Fau lau fausa, Fau lau fausa (Build your guard, build your guard)
Fau ia tele…. eeeee (Build it big)
Si fe’e, tago ia I lou ulu. (Octopus touch your head)
Po’o a ea na mea e I ai (What’s on it?)
A’o si fe’e ua tilotilo mai (Octopus is looking at you)
Ua le malie lona loto I le mea ua fai (He’s not happy with what’s just happened)
Fai fai lemu (Take it slow)
Ina ne’I te’I ane ua e pa’u (Just in case you fall )
Fai fai malie (Take it smooth)
E ui ina timu ae I’u lava ina laofie. (Even though it’s raining now, the rain will soon stop)
Tolotolo uga (Crawling crab)
Se’i e matea ea (Can you guess?)
Po’o se ugamea ( Is it a hermit crab)
Po’o se ugatea (Or a normal crab)
A’o a’u ma si a’u Uo (It’s just I (me) and my friend)
E ma te tafafao I le vao (Having fun exploring the bush)
