I wonder, would artists be able to sample your cover of this track? 😅

I'm Samoan and don't really listen to Tongan music but i was reading the subtitles and the listening to ukulele play, very peaceful and calming music, very beautiful. Thank you for sharing. 👃👃

Would love see him in a performance

Brilliant!

How lovely! Poet, composer, pianist and singer all come together so beautifully.

🙌🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴

Filipe you beast

My favourite British Art song, beautifully sung. Thank you 💕 6. 2. 2024

No matter who sings this, I always tear up on I lose it on the words “golden king up fields” and “this close-companioned inarticulate hour” That said, 😢for my heart, this is the best rendition.

Mean toko, keep up the good work God bless 🙏

Just wow!

Excellent, thankyou x x x

Filipe, I don't follow classical music that closely so I don't know " who's who" but I know that if you aren't already famous you surely should be. I have never heard anything so rhapsodically beautiful in all my 64 years. Thank you for a flawless and heartfelt rendition of a perfect song.

This toko would be popping in the faikavas 😂💯🇹🇴

Fakaofoofa hoo hiva ❤

Is there someone out there who can provide some background to this song? I know it's basically about unrequited love, but is it from some Tongan legend or myth? Who composed it and under what circumstances? It's so beautiful, and though I don't understand the lyrics word for word, there's a wonderful poesy to it as well. They say Italian is the best language for song, especially opera, but Tongan sounds beautiful too.

Please get a producer who loves your voice as much as we do. Record a dozen Island classics like Efiafi. We'll buy them. As for this performance it was beautifully sung. One last thought. You and the other gifted Island performers should write an opera about the history of your people told through the songs of two young people in love.

You do any more Tongan Songs toko? We gotta hear em..

Beautiful rendition, stunning many thanks.

Beautiful song brother!

Such a beautiful operatic rendition. Faka'ofo'ofa 'aupito e le'o moe ta ukulele, love the red coat as well....hope to see and hear more clips of Tongan songs being sung hange koe ngaahi fa'u 'a Kuini Salote and if by any chance - 'Eseni e Vaomapa moe Ka Halani si'i Mahina. Ki'i lahilahi e likuesi lol....All the best in your career and keep flying our flag wherever you are and glorifying God with your talent. Best wishes and love from 🇹🇴

Beautiful beyond words. Mahalo for sharing!

Wow Loved this

So so so very beautiful. Thank you 🙏🏽🙌🏽❤️

Proud to see you last night a fellow Tongan here in Germany at the Hamburg State Opera House. Your Ferrando in Cosi Fan Tutte was wonderful! Your young voice was full of magic with such control and beautiful lyrical to listen too! I can’t wait to hear more from you as your career begins in the opera world! By the way I hope one day we can do something with the ukulele keeping our Pacific Island Culture out there to inspire young talents from the Islands! So its rare to see a Tongan singing in an Opera but in Germany and singing in Italian! I brought my two teenage sons to watch you and you inspired them more than you know! Hopefully in your free time you could put up more songs of you here on your RUclips channel! Ofa atu toko

Damn they taking this song to the Opera version👏

can you please sing "Tu'u Fakaunga" as well :)

Ma’alahi!!

Absolutely stunning.

amazing

You made me appreciate this song much more toko malo

I grew up in Tonga and now reside in Canada but this song makes me miss the island so much.

Is this the saddest, most beautiful song ever? Gorgeous voice Filipe, and I think the ROH building loved it too and has absorbed your sound into her walls forever.

bravo! Malo

Amazing toko!! 👏

A great heart is heard by millions , without the promotion...

Huh .. classic 😊🤓

Malie!

Ok. Now you made me cry. Are you happy? 😢

Very impressive

Beautiful

Filipe, your voice sends shivers down my old spine. This is the first time I have heard you sing an English Art Song and I am blown away by the exquisite precision of your diction.It puts me in mind of Phillip Langridge whose Finzi "Dies Natalis" is a wonder.Actually that would suit you.. But most of all I am sold on how your beautiful clear tone and considerable technical skill are humble in the service of the song. That's rarer than nifo koula in chooks! Stay that way as you become a megastar! Too many of our colleagues are so far up their own C6's that they forget why they started singing in the first place. Toi Toi and God Bless! xpp

A worthy winner of the Lexus Song Quest

Beautiful singing..love the melody..keep them coming 🎶❤
