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

    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.

    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. 👃👃

    Efiafi peau ongo'i vale
    Loto leva keu sio kiate koe
    Ka koe pango 'oku 'iai 'a si'o pele
    'Oku takaloto 'i si'o 'ate
    Fie lau pe kau si'i vale
    He kuo pau ke mo'ui ia kau mate
    Fie lau pe kau si'i vale
    He kuo pau ke mo'ui ia kau mate
    Teu fakatulou he mo hao maheni
    Kau lea tu'unga he'eta palomesi
    Toki taha koe neu 'ofa ai
    'O pehe ko koe pe 'i mamani
    Kuo 'osi 'a muli he'eku takai
    Pea 'osi mo Tonga ni he'eku vakai
    Pe ki ha taha teu 'ofa ai
    Talunga pe koe keu vale ai
    Teu fakatulou he mo hao maheni
    Kau lea tu'unga he'eta palomesi
    Toki taha koe neu 'ofa ai
    'O pehe ko koe pe 'i mamani
    Kuo 'osi 'a muli he'eku takai
    Pea 'osi mo Tonga ni he'eku vakai
    Pe ki ha taha teu 'ofa ai
    Talunga pe koe keu vale ai

    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!

    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.
