I grew up listening to these classic songs in Tonga and I’m so happy that your singing these beautiful songs, we absolutely need to hear quality songs that is uplifting to our heart and soul. ❤
All our folk music should be played with a full symphony orchestra and with a awesome singing choir like MANA MOANA so beautifully performed Aloha Kaneohe
Yep other islands may have their own beauty but She still loved Her little tiny kingdom...Jewel of the Pacific!
Ve’esi 1:
Lave mālie mai matangi taulua
Talanoa he masani mo e seti 'o Suva
Loto leva ke u hopo ‘o faka folaua
Ke u luva ki ha ati ‘a si’oto lei pua
Pango e manatu kuo fākatu’a
Tafe-sino’i-vai ‘ea ‘o e Hala Vuna
Samipeni fiefia ko si'ete koula
Hangē si’a ofa 'oku kei talamuka
Verse 1:
Eloquent are the paired winds imparting
Tales of the splendour and abundance of Suva Making me wish I could leap aboard a voyager
boat
Offer my pua garland to a chiefly lady
Ah, but my nostalgia is intrusive
The air of Vuna Road is pleasant
My champagne of joy, my gold
Like a love just blooming
Ve’esi 2:
Ko e laulōtaha taulanga Pape'ete
‘A Tahiti kei taku ko e Sōsaiete
Ko e hauhau tofe tuku ko 'enau pele
Ke te hekasía mai ‘a hono matangi lele
Ka neongo ia kuo fakatauele
'A e 'ofa ‘oku tapu ke toe movete
Ki he ‘ōlive ‘oku kapa tu'u malele
Kanokato e lelei ‘oku ongo kehekehe
Verse 2:
Matchless is the harbour of Papeete
City of Tahiti, the talked-about Society
The pearly flowers are their treasures
Oh, to ride on its flying wind
But alas my heart is lured
By a love destined never to break
For this olive branch slanting in the wind Bearer of all manner of blessings
Ve’esi 3:
Letio sasala 'o e ongo ‘o 'Apia
Tapa 'i he po'uli ‘a hono kasa 'uhila
Tuha 'o e tafitonga pō ne fetu'u’ia
Fie 'eva 'i he solo mātā 'o ni siva
Kae mele kuo taungasino 'iate kita
‘A si oto lei huni fio mo e fahina
Muímui hoku loto ka hopo e māhina
‘A Nuku'alofa mo e veili siliva
Verse 3:
Radio broadcasts boast of Apia
Its lights flashing in the night
Myriads of stars stud the clear sky
I long to stroll and savour the dances
Ah, but how the fragrance clings to me
Of my garland of blending huni and fāhina
My heart follows when the moon rises
Dear Nuku'alofa with its silver veil
Ve’esi 4:
Fola ‘i he nusipepa tala 'o Hauai'i
Fakalata 'a e hula hiva 'ene vanaiki
Ko e fanifo'anga 'o e filivaihi
‘Ise'isa hoto loto fie laka he taimi
Ka kuo lī taula a 'ofa 'alovili
Ve’eve'e heilala ko ha 'inisēnisi
Vetekina ai si’i ‘atamai 'oku fihi
Sai pē si’i Tonga siueli Pasífikí
Verse 4:
Newspapers spread tales of Hawaii
How enchanting the hula, how sweet the singers
Surfing place of the handsome locals
How my heart longs to march with the time
But my resolute love has anchored here
Ve’eve’e heilala the incense
Untying the knots in a mind perplexed
Dear Tonga excels, jewel of the Pacific
