Lyrics by Opetaia Foa'i, Music by Opetaia Foa'i & Malcolm Smith

MANATU

Oku kohu e he masani ai

Kehe hoki ma na sevae

Kave ai i hetahi fenua

Tagi tagi ai au mo toku kaiga

Taku mai pe i fea toku matua

Ve na puli e fakailoaina

Taku mai pe i fea toku tamana

Na galo atu i te taeao nei

E mamafa, e manako , e fakamatala

Te uiga o te folau

Tuku mai he tali e fakamalie ai au

Manatua lelei te vaitafe

Aku feleni e sakili mai au

Fakataumafai ae he mafai

E au o tali ki ei

E manatu fia manatu

Toku kaiga

E fia manatu toku kaiga

Nofonofo filemu lava venei

Ite pogiha, toku mafaufau e tiga

te fanoanoa - te pogiha - te fanoanoa

Te mamao ko tau malaga na fai

Ae heai lele he tino e malamalama ai

Kae haloa koe koe ke onosai mai

Aua e iai na mea taua fakatali mai mo koe

Tau tala moni lava te na

E koe ke fakamakeke ma fakamalohi

Kae amutia koe te manaia ko tou lumanaki

Ka pa koe ki iei

HOMESICK

These clothes feel so strange on me

Stranger still are these shoes

Taken to another world

I'm now crying for my home

Tell me where my mother is

She forgot to explain things to me

Tell me where my father is

I thought I heard him leave this morning

Heavy thoughts

what I need is an explanation

The purpose of this journey

Searching for answers in this small room

I can only think of my river

My friends are searching for me

But no matter how hard I try

There's no way for me to answer them

I'm homesick , I'm longing

For my family

I'm longing for my home

Here I sit all by myself

In this darkness

My head is filled with hurt

With sadness - this darkness
