    I come from Uvea ,a little island near Fiji but i live in France. this song reminds me of my father. I don't usually leave comments but it's just to thank you. Your voice is so pure, your presence real even though you are so young. May God protect you and yours

    Very humble of you to make it big in America on the world stage and still be able to come back to the island vibe and sing songs from your neighbors. Your Fijian sounds authentic as hell, toko!! You're the only one at the moment to bring new ears to classic islander music.

    ERA BINI TU 💙
    Sa laki taura na sui ni noqu i vola
    Au solia kina na noqu dodomo vei kemuni
    Mo laki karona ka mo maroroya e veigauna
    Salusalu ni bula ni tiko ma rau vei kemuni
    Chorus
    Era bini tu na vei mataqali rosi
    Ia vei au au domoni kemuni
    Me i cavai tu vei au na bula lewa
    Ni ko sa mai tinia koso ga e ke
    Moce sa moce sa laki moce vakadua
    Salusalu ni bula ni tiko ma rau e veigauna
    Au na maroroya kau na karona e veigauna
    Tiko marau e veigauna vei kemuni

    Moce sa moce sa laki moce vakadua

    THEY'RE PILED UP (English - A.I. Translate)
    He took the bones of my book
    I give my love to you
    Take care of it and keep it always
    Life's Secrets of Being with You
    Chorus
    The roses are piled up
    But to me I love you.
    What do I have to do with life
    When you're here, you're here
    He went to sleep and went to sleep
    Life's Secrets of Being With Them All the Time
    I will keep it and I will keep it always
    Always happy for you
    Chorus x 2
    He went to sleep and went to sleep

    Beautifully sung, brother. In terms of the translation to the song:
    ERA BINI TU
    Sa laki taura na sui ni noqu i vola
    Au solia kina na noqu dodomo vei kemuni
    Mo laki karona ka mo maroroya e veigauna
    Salusalu ni bula ni tiko ma rau vei kemuni
    Chorus
    Era bini tu na vei mataqali rosi
    Ia vei au au domoni kemuni
    Me i cavai tu vei au na bula lewa
    Ni ko sa mai tinia koso ga e ke
    Moce sa moce sa laki moce vakadua
    Salusalu ni bula ni tiko ma rau e veigauna
    Au na maroroya kau na karona e veigauna
    Tiko marau e veigauna vei kemuni
    Chorus x 2
    [Translation]
    For There Are Many..
    You have finally taken the sentiments of my letter
    In which I wrote how deep my love is for you
    This, you may keep and cherish now and forever
    For a life full of happiness, I wish only for you.
    Chorus
    For there are many different kinds of roses
    But for me, you the only rose I see
    For what is left in life for me, my darling
    When things now have ended between us so soon.
    With sadness I say, farewell. My darling, farewell.
    A life full of happiness, I still wish only for you.
    Still will I love and I will cherish you now and forever
    May you always be happy and never ever be blue.
    Chorus x 2
    Disclosure: I felt the AI generated translation was not as accurate and this is a close translation with the hope that it does not take away any sentiments tied to the song in the original iTaukei [Fijian] version. The final line of the second verse adds to the direct translation but keeps with the meaning behind the words where the song wishes only happiness for that one 'rose'.

    This sounds like a beautiful country ballad sung in a foreign language. Even though I don't understand the lovely Fijian language, the beautiful music and heartfelt vocals convey the emotion of the song. It feels like a big hug. :-) Thanks Iam! ♥
