Teine Samoa (Samoan Girl)


La’u teine Samoa, my Samoan girl

You are truly a queen

Skin as brown as a coconut husk

Stronger than any man I have seen

 

La’u teine Samoa, my Samoan girl

Your grace exceeds any other

Your beauty greater than Nafanua

Oh how great you are as a mother

 

La’u teine Samoa, my Samoan girl

If ever you wish to leave my side,

Please take my heart with you,

Parting with it will be no stride

 

La’u teine Samoa, my Samoan girl

I will love you forever

For being by your side

Is a great endeavor
