Le Tu’una Oe By Josh Tatofi Fuaiupu Muamua Manatu, le mafutaga a oe ma a’u O e manatu mai ita - o tumau ita, I Iou fatu? Po uma ta te talanoa ai Momo’o e sau se aso, sau se aso Ta toe fia vaai Tali Musu e, e fuli mai lou tua La’u pele ou te le tu’una oe Tau o sau sogi, o lau fusi ia manatua ai Musu e, e fuli mai lou tua Le pologa, ta lelava Afai o lea, la’u pele, ua lava lena Fuaiupu Lua Le fa’anoanoa ua fo’i mai Oi aue! Lo’u fatu ua ulufia ai le gaosa Ua le mafai na tineia lo’u fia vaai Afai ua e fulitua mai Le fiafia ua au ina vaivai ____________________________________________________ Verse One I think upon, the relationship between you and I Do you remember me - do I remain in your heart? Every night we would talk I yearn for the day, I wait for that day I want to see (you again) Chorus Alas! You turn your back on me My darling, I will never forsake you Give me a kiss and your embrace so I can remember (us) Alas! You turn your back on me This burden is making me weary But if this is what you want - my darling, so be it Verse Two The sorrow has returned back (to me) Oh my! My heart is feeling overwhelmed with so much (pain) I can’t resist wanting to look (at you) But if you (still choose) to not want me Then the happiness will begin to fade ***My translation of the tokos song. Malo JT! Looking forward to seeing you in Melbourne next month PS I hope I translated the essence of what you were trying to convey in our language

Fa’afetai for brining back what we all long for.. old school Samoan vibe classics 🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸

Thank you! The whole of Samoa will be listening to this non-stop for the next 4 months 😂🇼🇸🇼🇸🇼🇸

This has all the elements of five stars, golden aliis and a malia & alapati classic. The way it exhudes all the feels and magic of a Samoan love ballad is exhilarating. Originality is truly something that is missing in today's music. The awe of it being written and sung by a Tongan crooner in our native language is icing on the cake. Fa'afetai tele lava Josh for the gift of music ❤

Thank you. This is a masterpiece 🩵 Raise your hand if you can’t stop listening to this 🙋‍♀️

Josh Mate. you made me cry😭💔💔 my late Dad loved your voice and traditional songs you sing😭😭💔 he loved you Mate❤❤❤❤. Pacific Soul RIP Daddy Lalokau❤😭❤️❤️🇵🇬🇦🇺❤❤❤

I'm not Samoan but this song makes me wish I was. So dreamy!

I was gonna quit drinking this weekend but thanks to Josh that aint happening anymore🍻😂 garage drinkup jams type shi❤️

This is giving all the 60s and 70s Samoan bands that serenaded us all with beautiful Samoan love songs. Even the formal samoan language is being used in this!

Malo lelei, Fa'afetai tele lava, Fakafetai lasi, Thank you-thank you so much for this beautiful creation, Josh. My thoughts go back to my parents as they are waltzing to any Samoan Classic oldie as the children are giggling and watching them float across the living room (tears). God has blessed you with this talent of music-creating your own sound/medley, lyrics and truly makes me want to have a marriage like my parents (loving one another). Thank you for sharing your God given gift to me and the rest of the world. Ofa lahi atu
