Faikava jam session

[vailimaaston]

As a Samoan I have no idea what the song is about, but as a musician and a uso (brother) I love this song when I'm drinking and chilling I'm always listening to these guys . Alofa atu from Samoa 🇼🇸

Uisa he me'a mamahi..
Koha 'ofa 'oku tangi muimui..
Si'ene langa 'aho kae tangi he po'uli..
Ka koloto koaa ta'ahine ha'o faka'atu'i..
Uisa ta koe mala si'eku mo'ui....

Si'i 'ofani ne fakaloloma mai mei 'api mahu..
Si'ete nofo moe fu'u kato faka'amu..
Pehe ange mai 'e au keu to 'iha tau..
Ho'o faka'aluma holo 'aki au...

Ta'ahine pe'i lea mai a kau fanongo..
'Io he kuo mahino 'eni si'eku nofo..
Kae 'amusia pe mu'a 'ae fu'u loto na ia..
'Oku 'eva ma'olunga mo fa'itelina...

Im an uce but man this song reminds me of drinking kava with my tongan uso's, great vibes, thanks for the post toko's

[tdizzlemetz]

Tongan melodies are just something else when it comes to old school jams! Loving it usos and thanks for reigniting the flame of our ancestral melodic cries!!!!

Hands down my favorite guys to listen to <3

To those who don't understand the song/language, it's basically a sad love song of a man to a lady whom he's deeply in love with but he knows he doesn't stand a chance with her and she might not even know he exists or that he has feelings for her.

The intro he shares the deep ache he feels "uisa he me'a mamahi ka ko ha 'ofa oku tangi muimui, si'i ete langa 'aho ka e tangi he po'uli" which I can roughly translate as "Oh how painful to have a love that follows you constantly, it aches during the day and cries at night"....

"Ta'ahine pei lea mai a kau fanongo, 'io he kuo mahino 'eni si eku nofo, kae 'amusia pe 'ae fu'u lotona ia oku eva ma'olunga mo fai teliha" which goes something like "Please speak to me girl and I will listen, yes I understand my current path (situation) is already set, but how lucky your heart is to come and go as it pleases (maybe he meant she's free to love who she pleases but maybe never him)"

This is one of my favorite Tongan sad love songs or "hiva kakala". I fell in love with this genre music at a young age thanks to my dad who used to jam and sing the solo parts with his siblings and at the kalapus "kava clubs" he would play at.

Anyways hope my 2 cents helped lol 'Ofa atu everyone & God bless.
