Fakatere tere (Samoa)

FAKATERE TERE
NA TOKERAU E
TOKU PIKO HAGA
I NARUKI E

VIRUVIRU MAUA
TAKU MOEHAGA
UA KITE AU TE MARANIA
TAKU KAHAIA I KIE

UA PEKE O TE RAGI
KIRUNGA KI TOKU KAINA
HOROHORO TAMARIKI
KIRUNGA KIRUNGA
KI TE PIRIGA

Aloha fron Anakila

Fakateretere

Fakateretere Na Tokerau E
When I was wandering down south

Toku Piko Haga Ina Ruki E         
When I looked afar

Viru Viru Mau A Toku Moe Haga      
In Love when we were sleeping

Kuaki Te Au Te Maragi Au         
I saw this child

Taku Kahaia I Tie            
My Kahaia

Kua Peke O Te Ragi Kiruga         
Lift me up to the sky above

Kitoku Kaiga               
At my place (home)

Horohoro Tamariki Kiruga, Kiruga      
The children running around

Kite Piriga            
Together

Iaorana! I love this song, too. This is my favorite song...especially it's sung by Gabilou. Our dance group dances this and it's soooo beautiful.

Enjoy the song!

Fakatere tere (corrected by Rarahu)

Fakatere tere
blowing
Na tokerau e
the wind from the north
Toku piko haga
during my sleep
Ki ga ruki e
last night

Viru viru maua
she is so pretty
Taku moe haga
in my dreams
Ua kite au te marania
i saw this beautiful girl
Taku kahaia iti e
my little plant (meaning flower)

Ua peke ko te ragi
flying in the sky
Ki ruga ki toku kaiga
above my homeland

Horo horo
runing runing
Tamariki
children
Ki ruga ki ruga
above above
Ki te piriga
the (solid) earth

I appreciate all of your comments, but if you want the exact translations you should contact the person who wrote the song and wrote the music.. and by the way Vaihi 's version is also beautiful as much as Gabilou.. The owner * who is Marotea * of the song presented the song to Vaihi to sing it , now it is booming in Japan , pretty much everywhere... thanks to Vaihi..
Vaihi just came out with another album called *Navenave * mixed with some hawaiian songs.. beautiful.. You can purchase on line @ www.vaihi.com.
