Sina ma le Tuna Pese (Sina and the Eel Song) with Lyrics
English Translation:
That is the legend from the past
Passed down from our ancestors
The eel’s farewell to Sina
Originated the first coconut in Samoa
The coconut that grew and is now so useful
Making Samoa wealthy and known in the world
Also originated the name of Sina’s pool
‘Mata o le Alelo’ in Matavai, Samoa
My maiden Sina, come
I am Tuifiti turned eel, in the hope
Of seeing and knowing you.
But in fear I am thus killed in Moata’a
Ch.
Sina, Sina my dearest
Taste the coconut so that forever we meet in love.

    First of all, Sina is such a great girl for rejecting the eel, because he is from Fiji, no wonder why she rejected him, because his black. Man my night got rejected...

    • @theephraimite
      @theephraimite 2 роки тому

      How could she know he was black if she didn’t know he was from Fiji? You don’t make sense, and stop pulling the race card, you impress nobody.

      In the beginning, God created everythings. And everythings is perfect, then later came the fallen angel name Lucifer. He disguised himself as a serpent, and deceived Eve. So the Tu'ifiti, is a demon ( fallen angel. ) This story is nothing more than an old wives tale. Read and studied your bible! Shalom.
