By the way im samoan that likes to learn fijian song n try to sing to my wife...lol this will be my favorite song n i really want to understand every single word...God bless my poly people

Here you go: 1. Saluwaki tu ni noqu bula, na Loloma nei Nau Mum's love is the scent of my life Au mai rawata tu kina, noqu bula Marau I was able to obtain my happy life Au guilecava nomu veisusugi dina vei au I forgot about your true upbringing of me Au dokadoka e matamu isa na noqu iyau Oh my treasure I'm disrespectful in your eyes Chrs Ena dau seretaka na Utoqu My heart sings about your motherly love to me Nomu Loloma vaka Tina vei au Oh mum all the gold in the world means nothing when you're gone Na koula kece kei vuravura Sega ni yaga ni ko yali isa Nau 2. Ko dau sakitaki au e veisiga lei, Tinaqu Oh mother you've been proud of me everyday Nomu vakamareqeti au, meu yaga e matamu You cared for me to be useful in your eyes E rawati au ko vuravura, ena kena wananavu The world's wonders have overwhelmed me Meu vakanadakui iko kina noqu salusalu And I turned my back on you my garland Chrs 3. Au na dau karoni iko tikoga, mo bula balavu I'll always cherish you to have a long life Me ivakadei ni nomu veisusugi vei au, Tinaqu To be a firm reminder of how you brought me up mother Vei Loloma soli wale ko binia tu e mataqu All the love thats given is right before my eyes E na dau lagataka na yaloqu, isa Nau na yacamu (×4) Oh mum my soul will always sing about your name
