‘ALO I OU FAIVA’ Lyrics

Chorus
Alo i ou faiva ia manuia
Aua e te loto vaivai pe a o’o mai faigata
Lua te fa’atasi ma le Atua
I so’o se ala e te uia

Verse 1
Lo’u atali’i ia e fa’alogo mai i la’u nei upu o le a fai
Ia e nofo sauni, aua e te solomuli i lau fa’ai’uga ua fai
O le lalolagi nei e tumu i mea masei
E tele fa’aosoosoga e vaivai ai ou lagona
Ia e loto tele. Aua e te fefe
Alu ma le fiafia lo’u atali’i ia e manuia

Chorus

Verse 2
Lo’u afafine se’i e fa’alogo mai i le ma upu o le a fai
Ne’i e manatu mama i loimata o lou Tinā
A o e folau i le vasa loaloa (e faigata)
O oe e malu ai le aiga nei, lo’u afafine se’i alofa fai lelei
Ta’ai ese lou fala, tu’u ese le aluga
Fa’amalosi mai se’ia o’o i le taunu’uga

Chorus

Rap/Bridge
O ou māmā na, lo’u uso, Alo ia i ou faiva
Ia uluulumatāfolau lou faamoemoe auā le taua
Ia toa lou loto ia manatua oloo tu’i le mulipapaga
A nai matua ma nai aiga aemaise alalafaga
Nofo tatalo, tapua’I, ia faaloaloa le ala
Auā lau savaliga nei tuia lou vae i se maa
Lou uso faalogo lelei
I le aunagi a Ma ma Papa
O fautuaga e fai mo oe
Tua ai i manū lau faigamalaga

Fa'alogo lelei ma e manatua
Alu ma amo nai ta mātua
'Aua te fefe, lototele
O oe le lupe o le a fa'alele
Tete'e le fili, tete'e le pia
Tago e sapo le manuia
To’aga i le lotu, to'aga tatalo
'Aua ne'i galo lau Tusi Pa'ia
Oi se sole se 'aua e te tagi
Tepa taula'i i le Atua o le lagi
Se fa'amalosi, o oe o le toa
Tau le taua mo Samoa
Ia ua tele na fautuaga
Teu I lou loto ma lou agaga
Ae sau loa ta fa'atōfā
Ia tu Ieova i lo ta va

Chorus

***OFFICIAL TRANSLATION***

Talofa lava everyone! Just wanted to take this time to say a huge thank you to you all for the lovely comments and for sharing your personal stories and experiences through #AloIOuFaiva. I know a lot of you have been asking for translation of the song for further understanding so here is the official translation of the verses and chorus. The rap is a work in progress :) Love and blessings to you all from Livi and I!

Verse 1
My son hear these words
Prepare yourself and stand firm in the choice that you have made
This world around us
Is full of hardship and temptation
That will weaken your resolve
You must be strong and courageous
Go forth with a joyful heart and may you prosper.

Chorus
Embark on your journey, may it be prosperous. Holdfast and stay strong in times of trials. God will be with you along every path you travel

Verse 2
My daughter listen closely to these words.
May you never forget the tears of your mother as you travel along the vast seas of your journey.
I stress to you, you are the protector and keeper of this family.
My daughter I bid you to do well.
Arise, fold up your mat and put your pillow aside.
Remain strong till the very end!

✨✊🏽🇼🇸🇦🇸❤️

Maaan I don’t understand a word but watching the clip and hearing the brothers smooth voice sing with that emotion warmed my heart. Ofa Atu to all my Pacific Island brothers and sisters.

[katrinatuala]

Watching my parents still work at an old age picking oranges is the hardest especially when it's hard to save money for them to have their dream home, this song literally made me push myself to become stronger in order to give help my parents after all the shit they went thru that no other parent would wanna go thru. My family was broken in 2017 to 2018 but we are working towards a better future & brighter days for all of us. Thank you so much Lani, you have changed us to becoming the better us with this song. So much respect! 💕🔥

[Ironsav.]

❤️Love this Song❤️So much emotions coming from this song 😭Shoutout To This Awesome Talent from Samoa 🤘

[freddytalavera]

Hi im not Samoan I am Puerto Rican but I grew up with a Samoan family. So yes I fully understand there language and I can reply to alot of things they say in Samoan. Every time I herd this song reminds me of my Aunty as I call her. So what I did was learn this song word per word and it took me 3 months but I did and now when I sing I sound more and more Samoan and I am very proud of saying I am Puerto Rican/ Samoan lol My next goal in life is to go to Western Samoa as soon as Corona Virus is over.

[POLYQuEEN]

😭this song really touch my ❣😢remember all the hard work of our dear parents they put out because of us💑God Bless n thank you for the beautiful song👌💖on replay all day🎵🎵

1. The mother's voice while talking to her son in the kitchen. So much love was felt in her few words while asking him to run to the store.

2. At 2:13; it was then I knew I had to subscribe.

3. The verse specifically towards the daughter. That was well written. Had me wanting to yell out to all the sisters "Let's slay every day ladies!"

4. My dude that was rapping!!! Surely appreciate your decision to use the letter "K" instead of "T" in your bars. Only because everything you said, was vocalized that exact way, all my life by my parents. The last line is my mom's favorite phrase or quote to use when she would write me letters back in the day "Ia tū Ieova i lo ta va".❤️

5. I am a fan. Thank you for sharing your music with us. Good luck!

[sasaluteru]

I'm samoan and I understood every word in this song and the message behind...i gotta say, I've been looking for a song just like this for a long time because no matter what i say or do, my siblings won't understand how important our parents are....they may be strict but they do that for our safety and our life...our parents will always do what's best for us even if it means for them to be strict..they love us with all of their hearts and will ALWAYS protect us. I made my siblings listen to this song and it brought tears to their eyes even myself and our parents..I opened their eyes with the help of this beautiful song so thank you..without this song, I dont know what I would do....THANK YOU SO MUCH❤❤❤

[elijahmate]

Best samoan song I've heard in a long time 🇼🇸❤️💯
