Samoan | English |
Tamaiti laiti se’i gasolo mai, | Little children when you’re ready, |
Sili lou sei fai lau ‘ula. | Wear your flower and your lei. |
Sulu lou titi fai lau pale pua, | Tie your titi and put on your frangipani pale, |
Tausi pea teu fa’asamoa ‘aua ne’i fa’agaloina, | Hold on to your Samoan style and lest you forget, |
Ne’i malo mai tu fa’aeuropa. | The European style may prevail. |
