Gorgeous story!! Sinilau iuviiii

Beautiful, thank you.❤️
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful story ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for listening
This is why we have to write down our own stories before people like this write them for us…
Exactly, the best idea ever and the very reason why I decided to put them down here in stones. So that generations to come may have something concrete to refers to when telling these tales. I want to encourage you to go ahead and record them down whatever you know to be true cause they will change. Keep in mind that these were orally passed down through music, cultures and just bedtime stories. And grandmas always have the liberty to tell it the way they wish to. You can record your version of the these tales down or you can share it with me and I'll share your version here as well. I'm just passing on what was passed down to me. Enjoy these versions and keep in mind they are all folk tales.
That's why only Samoan get a long with everyone love Fiji Vanuatu PNG SOLOMON only Samoan take all our black brother's and sisters
What you do for love…hoiiiii
😂😂Dude, it's nothing new, just ask Sinilau😂
@@IslandTalessouaaaa😂😂
A lot of our people today are full on Christians and they will see these stories as nonsense but for me? These are our stories of our bible if our people hadn’t been colonised by Europeans with their faith
True
These are our tales our stories our legends beautiful thank you for uploading please keep them coming
just a myth.....TALAMASINA is not a tongan name...it has no meaning in tonga
Same here, but have you heard of 'Talakaifaiki'? He's Tongan too and I know not a lot of Tongans are familiar with that name. Hopefully you've heard of him. I know he's not Samoan.
Talamasina Talamahina are same Moon Season 🌙 ✨
Like when Samoa changed their name should be called Ha'amoa Hihifo Ha'amoa Hahake 😊
@@jmjm1920 😂😂 same as Sinilau and Tigilau, same player.

Isn’t it Tigilau and Sina? That’s the only one I heard growing up in Samoa
True, this is Tongan version. Will upload later the Samoan version. Enjoy this one for now.
Greetings, beautiful tala tu'u between Samoa and Toga and by the way, I'm very proud that the name of my eldest son is Tigilau ( Sinlau )
Wow, that's Bold. Tigilau is a superhero. All the best to your Tigilau. May he find his Salamasina and make great stories.
