Fiji-George Veikoso and BrownHill Band singing SOSEFINA at Pasifika Festival Auckland 2010.

BEEAMS — March 15, 2010 — Awwwe this song is a classic Samoan song sung by Tiamaa and then Five Stars and then Fiji sung it as well and then and then and..I had to get the whole of this song but as you can see I was experiencing some turbulance during the filming and plus I was like in the middle of the crowd trying to get a good angle. I grabbed the lyrics off a website but theres also a translation so have a look if you want.

Lau filifiliga i le toe / mo le amataina
O le ta mafutaga ina ia maua se uiga
E le suamalie pe a faigofie
Pe a tutusa taua i le loto malie

{ CHORUS }

Nai / Ni ou masalosaloga e moni ea o lou alofa
O le afai au ma ou faapaologa

Sosefina ua lelei
Avea ia oe (fai) ma ou sei
Te ufi malu ia oe nei faaoa lou lalelei

(Extra verse in Tiamaa version)

Leitioa Solomona le faigata o le alofa
O sau inu toe toe ae le mafai talu le oona
Ita pei a valea ia oe le manamea
Tailo i lou mafaufau i tei ita ua tafea

{ REPEAT CHORUS }

(E nai) Ou manaoga ta fia faatalofa
ia oe le uo Sosefina o le maa tasi o lou ola
Pe a na iai sou mana na te aumaia lou agaga
E tumama ina ai le fia vaai i ou mata

This is my translation of Fijis version would be word-for-word:

1) My decision to restart, (I used i le toe amatainaFijis; for Tiamaas it would start off as My decision for commencing)
our relationship to become more meaningful,
Oh how sweet it would be if it was so easy,
if we were both in harmony in an wholehearted agreement.

Chorus) My suspicionis your love real?
I will be your shielding shade
Okay Sosefinayou are my pride and joy,
I shall be your guarding shield so your beauty wont be taken away.

2) Oh my desires, of wanting to welcome
you Sosefina my love, the single-stone-structure of my life.
If only you had the Manathat could bring me your soul,
to satisfy my hankering to see your eyes.

(Extra verse in Tiamaas version)

No wonder Solomon (King); the complexities of love
Its my last sip, but impossible because of its so bitter,
Im about to lose myself over you my beloved,
I dont know your thoughtsI could be drifting away.

SOSEFINA was written and sung by FIVE STARS; the late Alofa Tuuga Stevenson wrote it for his sister - Sosefina. Tiama'a did a lovely cover of it and Fiji is quite amazing too...
