Samoan Language (Gagana Samoa)
One of the best way to learn the Samoan Language is by singing songs. A
song like "Savalivali means go for a walk". It is one of the favorite of the Samoans. A fun song to learn and you will
speak Samoan in no time. Copy the words down and take it to your Samoan
friend to sing it for you and you will sing along as well. .
Pese (Song):
"Savalivali means go for a walk"
Savalivali means go for a walk
Tele tautala means too much talk
Alofa ia te oe means I love you
Take it easy faifai lemu
Tali:
E ua malie o, ave i le malo
E le faia so'u loto
Ae tu'u lou finagalo
Teine manaia means pretty girls
Ta'amilomilo means around the world
Whisper to me means musumusu mai
Oi aue, means my, oh my!
Go for a ride, ti'eti'e ta'avale
Stay at home means nofo i le fale
Leai o se tupe means no more money
Much trouble means fa'alavelave
