This guy is our Samoan Luther Vandross, (Josh Tatofi) sings his Songs softly & so in a Romantically way w/that Sweet Sound of his Voice. Malo Lava , Manaia tele lou leo. Your the Bomb!!!
@@oliveira9137 Yeea he’s Tongan and he actually wrote this Samoan piece. He writes his songs in the Tongan first and then translates into Samoan. Does the same thing for his Hawaiian songs.
I have always seen people post and repost this song on social media and I never really paid attention to it until this past week. OMG i seriously closed my eyes and imagined that I was sitting under a fale o'o in Samoa by the waterfall and reminiscing. This is just like how the OG music used to sound like and i miss it. I love the soothing sound of the instruments together. And this song is now on repeat.
Josh has the right sound and diction, with the right lyrics and the whole feel to make one reminisce and reflect on a relationship that is broken for whatever reason. How did he know how to connect all that to evoke "longing" feelings and emotions of native Samoan speaking listeners??? That's a mark of a genius! Malo 'aupito toko!
Beautiful masterpiece 👏 It’s like listening to the Five Stars again back in the days of the Slow Waltz. Love your music Josh ❤️❤️ Keep it coming! SAMOANs love it 💙🩷🩵🧡
😢Josh this Song just made u a offivial Uso you are Always welcomed here in Samoa much love and respect and prayers god bless your Talent love from Samoa❤❤❤❤
You released your beautiful music a few days after leaving my beloved husbands home. He passed last year, and we just had his memorial. My heart longs for him....❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful 💞 I don't understand a word, but that's the magic and spirit of music. Continue to be good steward's over your gifts. God bless you all. Another one added to my playlist.
Uso you brought a different sound where the combination of words and melodies is magical. Malō le fogafoga. And thank you uso. God bless the talent brother🫡🇼🇸🫡
@@Uce2Krazy84 wrong. His dad vani said himself he is full tongan. So did Josh, His mother is also tongan. I knew his sister peti growing up and all of them identified as tongan. Maybe he has 5 percent of Samoan in him from the tui tonga rule 🤣
@@christianriot wrong 🤣 his father already said he's tongan , Josh also said he's full tongan multiple times🤣 and I knew his mother and sister and they never once claimed they're samoan , they all speak tongan🤣 one tiktok video and you Samoans try claim him , just like our royals 👀🤣 that one interview. Josh never said he was "half samoan" at most hes quarter samoan and german🤣 cmon toks give up and swallow your pride
@@Taemahino78903 😂 idk bout the uso tryna claim him cos he’s probs the only thing tongans got going rn reason why you here crying in the comments that he’s tongan🤣🤣sound hurt just to hear someone claim he’s a little bit samoan hahahaha what a loser😂😂 and royals? hahaha ain’t no one tryna claim some fantasy kingdom yous been brainwashed with🤣🤣 yous can claim him cos yous can’t compare to us on the world stage and everyone knows that.
This song touches my heart so deep inside 💯🎵🙏 what a song man and it is very pure Samoan style of music 🔥 thanks to my Tokousos esp Josh for such a beautiful song 🙏❤️ God bless the talent 🙏❤

Le Tu’una Oe
Manatu le mafutaga a oe ma a’u
O ‘e manatua mai ita
O tumau ita i lou fatu
Po uma ta te talanoa ai
Momo’o sau se aso, sau se aso ta toe fia va’ai
Musu e, e fuli mai lou tua
La’u pele ou te lē tu’una oe
Tau o sau sogi, o lau fusi ia manatua ai
Musu e, e fuli mai lou tua
Le pologa ta lē lavā
Afai o lea, la’u pele ua lava lena
Le fa’anoanoa ua foli mai

Le fiafia ua au ‘ina vaivai
(ENGLISH)
I’ve been thinking about our relationship
Do you think of me, do I remain in your heart
Every night we would talk
Yearning for the day, waiting for the day I’ll see you again
I can’t bear (to see) you turn your back on me
My darling, I’ll never forsake you
Give me a kiss, let’s embrace so you can remember (us)
I can’t bear (to see) you turn your back on me
This burden is making me weary
But if it’s what you want, my darling, so be it
Sadness has crept back in
My heart is overwhelmed so much (with pain)
No amount of distractions can diminish my longing to see you
But if you still choose to not want me, (any) happiness will fade away.
Thank you for the translated so beautiful ❤😢🤟🏿

That's how I felt x neglostic vibes to when I was younger and my dad was alive. Those 80s,90s Christmas vibes.
