It’s amazing how Tokelauan is similar to my language, Samoan. It’s literally the same exact sentence structure and vocabulary just a few letters off (which can change it completely). But I understand what she’s saying clearly in Tokelauan. Also the word “aulelei” means beautiful/handsome/pretty in Samoan too as I thought that Samoan was the only Polynesian language that says it like that. Now I know Tokelauan does too 👍🏼
wierd question and i hope its okay to ask but could you write down what she said not the english but the tokelauan sentence ? i get it if you rather don't do that .. its just that is such a beautiful sentence that i want to write it down
Tokelauan here 😅
Na Maua e au te loto lelei mate mana mai ki latou
Na ako mai e ona mea lelei ve ko te Moana
Ma te fakamalohi ve ko te moana
Ma leleiga moni e mai ite loto
Hope this helps
Proud Tokelau 👏 te tatou gagana hako ka mou malie atu,,the Tokelau proper word is Kaulelei,,in Tokelau, as Aulelei in Samoa,, same definition,,it needles to say that our own Tokelau language has slowly disappeared and dying due to our nz born mixing with other Polynesian races,as you can easily understand our language is similar to Samoan Language,,and Tuvalu aswell,,Malo te gelu to our dear Pacufic islands brother and sister..🇹🇰
I'm in love with this. Showing the essence of Pacific/Polynesian dance and beauty from our Women. It's so important we carry our ancestral lands wherever we go in this world. Thank you Olivia.
Realmente é muito lindo. Parabéns ❤
Aulelei means beautiful! Love the performance! Olivia who is Tokelaun and Moemoana who is Samoan. Gorgeous ladies, keep doing what you’re doing! Really inspiring.
I am from Bulgaria,so far from Polinesia, but i fell in love with that dance horeography . Amazing, wonderful music,awesome dance and beautiful people .
polynesians are truly the most beautiful people out there. the dance, food, figure, voices and language. although i am mixed and look awfully white 😂 i will never hesitate to embrace my cook islander side. (tahitian, cook island, french)
same with me bro haha, I'm hawaiin, maori and japanese as well as irish and scottish and maybe american samoan but yeah I'm not like brown or anything but I always am proud of who I am and all that. chehuuu!! 808 baby!!
@@kiyahntapiki3241 CHEEEHOOOOO
in less than two minutes they tell who they are not by words but by rhythmic beat, motion, smile and beauty so powerful just like the ocean!!!
I love this both beautiful and the current miss Samoa Moemoana showcasing her talents too 🥰🥰
Beautiful young Polynesian women! I love the cultures across the islands. Each unique and each a treasure. Thank you for the gift of your beauty and grace.
I’m from Boston and from the West Indies my ancestors are Arawak and maroon/Moors.
I wish to meet a curvy Polynesian one day 🤞I love the Polynesian and Maori culture,family value and honor.
Aye Arawak Fam! And Same. I hopefully am flying to Hawaii for my bday next year
Jemelex Murray nice I need a vacation from the city the US can be toxic at times.
@@Capo9LL very. I live in FL currently and I'm bored and done
Jemelex Murray I don’t blame you at least you’re in the great weather and clear water beaches, when is your birthday?
@@Capo9LL it's been gloomy these past weeks and getting cooler here and there. We're just now getting a hint to winter. Otherwise it's been scorching the entire year and we had a red tide issue again for months and they dump sewage in the everglades and our beaches so I womt step foot in the water. It's been almost 2 years now...shame. But that's our government for ya

Beautiful women on earth !!! Better than all those on American shows and Hollywood !
Beautiful dance with spiritual overtones. So graceful and sensuous, take us into another dimension of loving rhythms.
Какая неимоверная грация,движения лёгкие,а улыбки искренние👍😊🤗
I literally held my breath. I'm Ghanaian (West Africa), and I'm totally loving this!!! Y'all are so graceful, really!
I honestly always felt a little African vibe in this type of music.(I'm african btw)

I'm from Mali, same here. I'm living in Australia and been exposed to different cultures, I really learnt so much about people(the World) and honestly this Culture, became a favourite. I'm Muslim but been going to Maori church, just for the fun and not forget that I love what they serve me, Good food. I appreciate their dance. I cry always watching people dancing it, at festivals and other.
And that s how a Maori lady approached me, one day and hugged, kissed and she said to me, this song you are crying on is a healing song, you are responding to it, that means that you are being healed😍🥰😍😍she said. infact yeah that was true. She took my number and invited me to her church. It s a very powerful and healing dance.
😇😇😇
Captivating!! Thank you olivia for demonstrating the pacific culture!! Vinaka!!
Literally breath taking. This randomly showed up on my home page and man, I’m glad I clicked on it. 💛
Same here, amazing!!
What is THIS 🤔
same here
That golden glowing skin is quite something. BEAUTY!
When she spoke at the start you can just hear how similar all the polynesian countries are especially Tongan, Samoan and Hawaiian. Eventually all these polys migrated to other islands and made their own language. The polynesian community is beautiful. Even I being tongan can recognize the similarity between the Hawaiian language and all the other ones
So true I speak fluent Tuvaluan and I can understand every word
tongans and samoans love to mention there countries any excuse they can
I being NZ Maori and Cook Island Maori can understand too. We are ONE people.
Hawaiian is closer to Tahitian and Marquesan than Tongan or Samoan considering Hawaii was settled by Marquesans and Tahitians who would later become the Hawaiian people.
And the Hawaiian archipelago was around the last to be settled.
@@Manoatevarua agreed! Hawaiian, cookislands, tahitian and the maori people of NZ sound so similar.
Part of the art of dance is to tell a story or show the life of the people. this not only did that but could make someone fall in love with the people just watching the grace and beauty shown in their dace. Not to talk about how stunning they are! I may show this on my show some night about dance from another culture!
That sounds really cool! I might just add that the entire choreography is a blend of dances from the Polynesian Islands: Tahiti, Samoa, Tonga & Cook Islands. Just a little fyi for your audience that they might like?
@@jungsuk888 and Tokelau too
You are so graceful, Olivia... I understand now why Japanese wanted these islands in the Pacific during WWII 😍😍😍 #pearlharbor #battleofmarcus #battleofwake #battleofmidway #battleofguadalcanal #battleofsantacruz
I just absolutely love it.hope to go to New Zealand some day.love from ABQ NEW MEXICO USA.
I am in absolute awe! Watching this in repeat!
Beautiful... the dance tells a story...great you girls keep your cultural dance still... keep it up... greetings from Solomons
I'm a Caribbean islander and the first time I saw the haka, I thought it was 🔥... now I'm loving this too! What is this called?? ❤ from the Virgin Islands to the Pacific Islands!
Love from Trinidad and Tobago
Their contemporary dance is a mixture of tamure the Tokelauean traditional dance and the other piece is called an ailao whern they're dancing with that spear like wood, it's a traditional Samoan dance.
@@pakoakiki4621
Tamure is Tahitian.
I believe it’s a Tokelauan or Samoan dance.
Gosh this ladies are gorgeous! Look at those amazing moves & those tans!!!
The choreography and work you put forth is amazing. You should go GLOBAL! Take a dancer from major cultures because every culture has a very special and beautiful lakalaka to share? Maybe we could be globally united too Aloha. I love the work you do please contiue💕
Wow that was amazing. Two beautiful angels. Makes you want to get up and dance.
I was so excited when the notification came across but I had chores to do. It was killing me! But I finally got to watch and as usual it was breathtaking and beautiful! Not long enough though LOL. Great job ladies! 💚
Beautiful and strong!! love it and our polynesian beauties showcasing and being proud of ones culture. Cheehoo!
Never fails to follow our ways culture, beautiful woman Olivia. Beautiful women showing who we are.
I guess that's Gagana Tokelau in this song, right?
Sounds like it
Great dance, especially the physical constitution of the two girls and the color of their skin is captivating
I love the title of this vid. "Aulelei." Which means "Beautiful" in Samoan. I really enjoy the choreography of this awesome video. Thanks for job well done, Livy!👍👍✌😘🌺💖☺
Both are amazing but I am so captivated by Moemoana. She has such charisma and her siva afi skills were highlighted with this choreography. Much alofas to you both.
I loved the color of thier skin👍☺
Isn't that Moemoana? Miss Samoa 2023
Samoa all the way ❤️🇼🇸🇦🇸
Star Struck *Tokelauan
🇹🇰🇹🇰🇹🇰
Tongaaaaa🇹🇴😂
I am Samoan but I still love this cultural dance 🥰🌺🤙🏼
Hi Marlene
This makes so much more sense with the video! I've been listening Aulelei on Apple Music and kept feeling like I was missing something.
Moemoana ❤❤ she just finished her Miss Samoa reign now in a few months her Miss South Pacific Title. She truly is the heart of the Pacific
Showed up in my recommendations 5 years late. Glad I clicked though. ❤🙂
This is far more better than belly dances. This has story in it.
Both are beautiful on their own..no need compare
My algorithm is lit! This was so amazing!
I wake up to that... And it hardens my... D termination! 💪
A beautiful performance!
J'adore ce côté tribal féminin que je partage avec elle ❤ merci à notre cote primitif d'exister encore aujourd'hui
I just found this channel and i swear i love this content
I just love this video. Your so blessed and move so graceful.
mesmerized by this culture & dance 😍
The language has to be Tokelauan because, as a Samoan, I can understand more than 95% of what is being said here. I think Tokelauan is the closest related language to Samoan. Some say it’s another dialect of the Samoan language, but either way, it’s still Tokelauan.

Alofa Lahi Atu, Thank you for This 💛
Can you please give me a translation for what the singers are saying? It sounds so beautiful
This was amazing it transported me back in time 🤩
Both gorgeous and natural beauty
Gracefully presented with background nature.... very nice!
Amazing ! Traditional dance music amazing
Love to see more of it
How wonderful to see young women who still know their own culture.
Yeah 🤗😁
@@lanimokosoi are from the islands ? If not then ur way off base here
@@lanimokosoi Uh huh ...yep...I'm heading that way in a few months...YAY 👍 😁🤭🤩❤️
Watching from PNG...
Really love it💖💯
So beautiful & enchanting ‼️
So inspiring and attractive these young women are, yes true beauty does comes from the heart, wonderful seeing others with true roots of culture, here in the west culture is so often a thing begged, borrowed, stolen or made up, and beauty so often being only skin deep.....too and true there are those who do shine bright the beauty of the heart and once one wakes up to the differance between the two it becomes obvious at a quick glance...
I swear i am here for the love of art.
That was badass!
Absolutely beautiful.. greetings from California
I really loved the fact about this is everything. Well done to both! 😊
That's awesome...look like spiritual dance👍👍💃💃💃💃💃
Captivating beautiful island women 🔥😍
I love to learn all cultures
Красотища!! Завораживающе!
So Beautiful and Magical 💜💐
Неплохо, костюмы, музыка в тему, фигуры хорошие, лица красивые. Может быть использована в качестве заставки или рекламы. Лайк конечно. Если бы ещё часть копья были настоящие, но это опасно даже с затупленным лезвием.
They are not costumes.
Love from Tonga 🇹🇴
Pretty girl...😍😍😘😘 bravoo ..
Back to earth mother that my heart never left...💞💥💥💥
