English Translation:
That is the legend from the past
Passed down from our ancestors
The eel’s farewell to Sina
Originated the first coconut in Samoa
The coconut that grew and is now so useful
Making Samoa wealthy and known in the world
Also originated the name of Sina’s pool
‘Mata o le Alelo’ in Matavai, Samoa
My maiden Sina, come
I am Tuifiti turned eel, in the hope
Of seeing and knowing you.
But in fear I am thus killed in Moata’a
Ch.
Sina, Sina my dearest
Taste the coconut so that forever we meet in love.
