Mua ia ina mua
Mua o, mua o, mua o
Mua o, mua o, mua o
Samoa lau atunu'u pele
E le galo oe i taimi faigata
Tu mau pea lau gagana
Fausia pea lou va'a fa′amalosi
Manatua pea aso anamua
Fa'aloalo i tagata matutua
Fa'avae oe i le Atua
Aua lava e te fo′i i tua
Talofa e Samoa e
Tupulaga fo'i mai
Tu i luga i lou malosi
Aua e te fefe i le oti
O le Atua e puipui oe
Iesu o le leoleo mamoe
Fa′amalosi
Tu i luga i lou malosi
Aua e te fefe i le oti
O le Atua e puipui oe
Iesu o le leoleo mamoe
Fa'amalosi
This is the story of my warrior people
This is the story of all Polynesia
Where the warriors ruled and reigned
Born as warriors and died as kings
Samoa e
I wanna thank you for my freedom
I give thanks for a certain destiny
′Cause you fought and died for me
Showed the world to live in peace
Fa'a Samoa
Teine Samoa
Outou tamatoa
Tu i luga i lou malosi
Aua e te fefe i le oti
O le Atua e, puipui oe
Iesu o le leoleo mamoe
Fa′amalosi
Tu i luga i lou malosi
Aua e te fefe i le oti
O le Atua e, puipui oe
Iesu o le leoleo mamoe
Fa'amalosi
