the corrected lyrics are in CAPITAL LETTERS...Just scroll down this page and see...hope yu enjoy...(btw..i can translate literally but it woon't do full justice to the brilliant poet that penned this song because he uses metaphors to hide the true meaning of the song. We can read our own interpretation into it but the song hints to something else hidden deeper in the abyss of the lyrics...personally, I don't believe that this is a love song, although it sounds like it on the surface...Enjoy it..

There's another version of this song where a girl sings a part and the original song is played in the very beginning. I'm trying to find that track but I can't. Anybody know the version I'm talking about?? Cheers!!
Joshua Thompson this song can't be translated to English as the Tongans used metaphors that are way deeper when they sing to interpret how they feel or how they love someone!!!
@Niji You 💯‼️‼️ You can’t translate everything to Eng and not everything deserves to be translated when it’s this good! 💯 It speaks volume and better indigenously 🤷♀️🇹🇴 🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴‼️

hi, Tongan old songs are all poetry and it can be quite difficult to translate but mostly it's all love songs. All the best with the wedding.
Mereane Ropeti Tausili Its very poetic using words and slang to define the meaning the song is trying to portray

I don't think I'm familiar with that from Fanshawe's recordings. Sounds nice!
5 years later & im trying to find it! ANYONE???
Anyone find it? I heard it as a kid and I can’t find it anywhere 🥺
It has to be here somewhere under another title. I played it on here years ago but I can’t find it 🥺
does anyone know where i could find the version with the girl in the background?
