RSA Band Samoa & Tavita So’onalole - Taute (Official Music Video) 

TAUTE Performed by: Tavita So’onalole & The RSA Band Samoa Written by: Le Tiama’a Band Lyrics Translated by: Athene Macdonald, Afoa Faleulu Mauli and Harlan Mauli Sau ia oe Taute lo’u au se’i fai sau tala Taute, my love whats on your mind? O tumau pea ita i sou lagona i le mafutaga Is there a chance there could be an ‘us’? O ou foliga lau fofoga fiafia mata ata ata I treasure your beautiful face, your joyous smile O lo’o tumau pea oe la’u rosa la’u fuamatala You will always be my blossoming rose O lo’o tumau pea oe la’u rosa la’u fuamatala You will always be my blossoming rose Oute manatua le tumua isi ou mafaufau You are never far from my thoughts O se mea manogi oe ina ia fai o se pine fa’amau You are just a dream for now until you accept my proposal Ae sa ou musu ne’i le ta’u lau o ou mo’omo’oga The thought of rejection has stopped me many times from telling you how deeply I feel for you A’o alo atu lau afioga pele i a’oa’oga So I will wait patiently for your return as you continue to pursue your studies A’o alo atu lau afioga pele i tafaoga And your dreams… Ae ui i lea o le a ou fa’atali pea Despite this, I will wait patiently Se upu e pa’u mai i lou fofoga oe o la’u manamea Just say the word my darling A’o lou tumu i fa’amatalaga e le aoga Words alone cannot express just how much my heart aches for your unrequited love A e te le’o manatua lo’u pologa i le timu ma le la You just don’t know how hard I’ve been trying A e te le’o manatua lo’u pologa i le timu ma le la Under rain and shine to gain your attention…

Listening to Samoan songs refresh my Samoan language. Left American Samoa in 1976 isolated from Samoan community till a yr or so ago, stumbled on Samoan u-tubes listening to took me awhile to understand some of the words what they meant in the English language. Returned back to American Samoa for the first time in 2018 didn't even know where our land was😮 good thing my brother and sister accompanied me on that trip. They been back and forth before but me I joined the military and that's where I spent most of my life till I retired in 2000.

The lovely beautiful, aulelei Princess that's dancing in this amazing Samoan song, is Miss Moemoana Safa'ato'a Schwenke! She's Miss New South Wales, Australia ( 2023/ 2024 🇦🇺 and now Miss Samoa 🇼🇸 ( 2023/ 2024 ) 🎉 🎊🎉🎊 We are so proud of her and her achievements and accomplishments! 🎉 E aulelei a teine Samoa 🇼🇸 tamaita'i mai Savaii! 😅😊😅😊😂😅 Malo lava
