Yeah Niua is close to Samoa so a lot of the words will sound similar to Samoan. Their language is Lea Fakaniua it’s similar to Wallis & Futuna as well cause the proximity.
It’s because this song was composed for the siu’a’alo in Samoa as Tongans were participants. Song was composed for the teams from ‘Eua TONGA ….Tu’i Niua and Tu’i ‘Eua. Canoe racing - Fautasi.
