Nafanua

Nafanua

Nafanua (le toa tama'ita'i)
Nafanua (le toa samoa)
Le tala anamua i le tagata
Ta'uta'ua ua tusia lona
Igoa i talatu'u o samoa
Na fanau mai ae le amanaia

Tulafoa'i e lona tina
'Ae apoapo e lona tama
Saveasi'uleo le tupu
O pulotu, ma fa'aigoa ia nafanua

Nafanua lou nuu ua pologa
Tu'u mai lau la'au

A'o ola nafanua i pulotu
Ua fa'apologaina ona tagata
Ua femo'ei i le saua o lilomaiava
Tagi aue. Loto e ua malape
Ona fa'atonu e savea lona
Alo le atua o taua
E alu e fa'aea le pologa
Ona fafau ai la'au mata'utia

A pa'ia le pa i fualaga
Sua le tuli
Aua le ali'i o aiga

Ta fesilafa'i. Le la'au agalua
Fa'auliulito
Ulimasao. Faaumatia le taua
Fa'amategataua
Fa'asaoina le filemu
Nafanua le tupu toa

Nafanua lou nuu ua pologa
Tu'u mai lau la'au

Nafanua the female warrior
Nafanua the warrior of samoa
(A story from ancient times of an eminent individual)
(Who's name is legendary in the history of samoa)
(A legend born but was undesired by many)
(Deprived by her mother but cherished by her father)
(Saveasi'uleo the God of the underworld and named her nafanua)

(Nafanua your village is being destroyed
Bring forth your weapons.)

While nafanua rested in the underworld pulotu
The people of her village above were being slaughtered
They tried to escape the violent wrath of lilomaiava
Crying in agony of shattered souls
Then the God of the underworld demanded his daughter
The goddess of war
To return to their village above put an end to the slaughtering
So then her weapons of destruction were created
When you reach the borders of fualaga
Cease your battle for you have reached the grounds of your ancestors

Ta fesilafa'i, the double-sided hook
Fa'auli'ulito, no mercy
Ulimasao, ender of wars
Fa'amategataua, weapon of death
Bring forth peace
Nafanua the goddess of war

Nafanua your village is being destroyed
Bring forth your weapons
