in my opinion Moana is the best animation movie Disney have ever created. The music, beautiful backgrounds, brave and purposeful girl. Beautiful and happy end. And the story itself very original
She’s singing in our Samoan Language about our Supreme Creator Tagaloa! The Progenitor of all Living Things and All Life.. The Samoan Word “Tulou” also pronounced “Kulou” in Our language is a very respective way of saying “Excuse Me” or “Pardon Me” when referring to someone of High significance, like your Elders! In our culture it’s very rude to walk over someone who is sitting down, especially your parents or grand parents and you forget to say “Tulou” the respective way of excusing yourself as you walk over them.. Back then it was also used when referring to our Most High Deity and Father of Creation! Tagaloa
Your Polynesian folklore, culture and creation myths are simply amazing! Was always partial to Norse mythology but watching Moana for the first time with my baby brought me to tears and still does 😭, honestly knocked my sensitive sox off, your culture is BEAUTIFUL! BIG FAN! Im glad your culture and people are getting their due recognition, worldwide!
@@theScrupulousBerserker We have many similarities in the Pacific with Norse mythology. We have our own version of Thor and Odin in our islands. Thor as used to be the name of the lightning gods in our language is coincidentally a word we used to describe its powerful striking force, it's like the active verb of Lightning but the name is different. Polynesian and Vikings also used the same word for Water Vi as in Vi-Kings and Vai as is used in this movie Moana for Water. Different penmanship but meant the same, it's a fact that Oceania and the Norse to include the Arab and Aramaic ancestors have language similarities. Perhaps the ancestors and people who influence the cultures of these different groups of people were all the same back in the ancient time and their language and some pieces of their ancient culture in mythology coding and social function to include linguist were mostly kept and carried on throughout many generations till everyone went their separate ways.
This your Samoan culture is soothing and cool. I really wish I can speak your language. Sincerely, I love traditional music's and this is one so Interesting

Greetings from Ireland. Much like Irish/Gaeilge to a non Irish person, these words are difficult to pronounce for me, but my 4 year old thinks she has this nailed 😂😂😂 #muchlove #beautifulculture
i don't really know much about the culture this is based off of, but imagine being in the woods or on a mountain or something, and just saying the first part and hearing a whole bunch of people singing with you from a distance? like a sort of start of a celebration or a declaration that one of the people is coming home after being away on a long voyage. that's what it makes me think of, and I love it.
One thing I love about this song is the fact that at the start she is actually apologizing to the god Tagaloa (also known as Kanaloa, Ta'aroa, Takaroa, etc). (I don't know the exact context, I just know 'tulou' means something like 'pardon me' or 'excuse me') Makes me wonder why.
An extended version of this was performed by Olivia and Opetaia Foa'i of 'te vaka' when they sang "we know the way" live at a stage show in Wellington. Here's the link: ruclips.net/video/Bum4936KgOo/видео.html

grant us ur pardon (it’s actually tagaloa for that) he’s a samoan god
For some reason I like listening to this before my football practice and games
Makes sense, it is a blessing of sorts, asking the god of the sea to look down upon the beautiful earth.
I like listening to it before baseball practice or before I sleep
Lol
Why lol it is literally a blessing from the gods show them some respect
@@liamsstudio_44 show me respect hehe
I was born in NZ now in UK, this makes me think of home and I miss it everyday NZ is in my heart forever ♥️❤️

I play Everquest and i listen to this to get hype for raids.
Thanks for make this ☆♡☆
Goosebumps ❤
Just amazing...
Por Dios me encanta esta cancion! Es hermosa
Es cierto. Es preciosa la canción.
i don't really know much about the culture this is based off of, but imagine being in the woods or on a mountain or something, and just saying the first part and hearing a whole bunch of people singing with you from a distance? like a sort of start of a celebration or a declaration that one of the people is coming home after being away on a long voyage. that's what it makes me think of, and I love it.
the woods? The entire basis of polynesian culture is the ocean
please do an extended version of voyager tagaloa
After a long day of work.. on my way home this song give me that push i need to get by the day💜❤️💜❤️💙💚💖💛🖤🤍
Perfect breathing music for therapy
Am I the only one who loves watching this with their niece?
I didnt know there's a full version and it's 28 minutes!
Nope - this is a loop
One thing I love about this song is the fact that at the start she is actually apologizing to the god Tagaloa (also known as Kanaloa, Ta'aroa, Takaroa, etc). (I don't know the exact context, I just know 'tulou' means something like 'pardon me' or 'excuse me')
Makes me wonder why.
Can you extend this to an hour?
Awesome
Tulou..♥️🇼🇸💯
Nice vibes ♪♥
An extended version of this was performed by Olivia and Opetaia Foa'i of 'te vaka' when they sang "we know the way" live at a stage show in Wellington.
Here's the link:
ruclips.net/video/Bum4936KgOo/видео.html
in that case, this is actually a loop, not an extension
So many comments claim that Tagaloa is the creator god bit according to Olivia's dad, Opetaia, Tagaloa is the god of the sea
It's different depending on what island you ask man.
who sings this??? I need to hear more
"Tulou Tagaloa" is sung by Olivia Foa'i, daughter of Opetaia Foa'i, one of the film composers and lead singer of Te Vaka
😍😍😍😍
