Tele I’a o Le Sami
Tele i’a o le sami
Tele fo’i la’au o le vao
Tele manu felelei i le lagi
Tele teine afakasi
Ae sili ai oe la’u pele
O le lā o Samoa
Mate maia la’u tupua
Pe e te iloa le igoa?
[Chorus]
Let me hear you whisper
Let me hear your sigh
Let me put my arms around you
Let me call you mine
Tu’u mai lou lima
Tautala mai dear po’o ai
Tau ina e iloa
O lo’u alofa le na
O le Lā ma le Māsina
O le fetu mai Iupita
Susulu maia se’i sulugia
Su’esu’e la’u penina
O le ma’a tāua
E mo’omia e tagata
O le lalelei o Samoa
E fai ma fili o tama
[Chorus]
Let me hear you whisper
Let me hear your sigh
Let me put my arms around you
Let me call you mine
Tu’u mai lou lima
Tautala mai dear po’o ai
Tau ina e iloa
O lo’u alofa le na
Pe ana ta masani ea e ā
Pe ana e īoe ea e ā
O la’u losa tutasi e
O la’u punimatagi
Ua e ave lo’u fatu
Ae tu’u lo’u mama
Talofa i lo'u tifaimoana
O la'u ma'a taimane
[Chorus]
Let me hear you whisper
Let me hear your sigh
Let me put my arms around you
Let me call you mine
Tu’u mai lou lima
Tautala mai dear po’o ai
Tau ina e iloa
O lo’u alofa le na
Many fish in the sea
Many trees in the wilderness
And many birds in the skies
Many half caste girls
But I prefer you my dear
The light of Samoa
Guess my riddle
If you know the name?
[Chorus]
Let me hear you whisper
Let me hear your sigh
Let me put my arms around you
Let me call you mine
Give me your hand
Tell me who it is
You should know
For that is my love
The Sun and the Moon
The bright light from Jupiter
Shine upon me so I can see
As I search for my pearl
It's a valuable rock
Desired by many
The beauty of Samoa
It is the temptation of young men
[Chorus]
Let me hear you whisper
Let me hear your sigh
Let me put my arms around you
Let me call you mine
Give me your hand
Tell me who it is
You should know
For that is my love
Why were we acquainted
Why did you say yes
My one rose
My punimatagi
You have taken my heart
But left my ring
Oh my treasure
My diamond rock
[Chorus]
Let me hear you whisper
Let me hear your sigh
Let me put my arms around you
Let me call you mine
Give me your hand
Tell me who it is
You should know
For that is my love
