Set Tulia, . . vinaka na comment. . totoka na Ovalau lyrics

Song is about her daughter Mateaki. People have been singing Matiavi instead of Mateaki.
Yalo e veiciriyaki
Soko e loma ni takali
Cabe ki yanuyanu tani
Vukumu na luvequ daulomani
Isa Mateaki
Noqui yau na tagi
Ena nomu laki tu tani
Au sa guilecavi
Ke a soli vei au na lewa
Me daru na tikovata ga
Au na sega sara niu laiva
Mo laki tu yawa mai kea
Isa Mateaki
Noqui yau na tagi
Ena nomu laki tu tani
Au sa guilecavi
Sega niu kila ni ko na yali
Yali voli mai cavilaki (not sure if the last word is correct)
Noqu dau nanumi iko yani
Vu ni noqu mai tauvimate
saw Ilisapeci Tamani on TV last night on her interview for the Tribute to classics by Nem and Talei. Very touching story, everyone watching at home was in tears durin her interview. I salute her for tye composure of this song and how ee can relate to it. I wonder if there is a recording of the original available
There is am original version sung by the Suva Bay Group which are the Luke Tamani (Brother) and his two sisters which include Ilisapeci. I think its with the FBC in Suva. I once had a copy from them for all their songs and somebody stole it from me.
Listening to the composer Mrs Tamani,i learnt something new. it's not matiavi it's Mateaki.. the story is just touching..
Vinaka for the comment on the lyrics, . learnt something new about this compostion
Yeah trues up
