      even if his great uncle's friend's neighbor was Samoan, that's enough to consider the uso Samoan 😂

    Lyrics
    Tali maia o ‘oe lo’u au
    Sei fa’amalu ai lo’u mafaufau
    Fa’amalu ai fo’i lou tu’inanau
    Ma lo’u tauanau
    Sa fai ‘oe ma a’u uo
    O ananafi fo’i ma le aso
    Nai ou uiga fa’amaualalo
    ‘E le fa’agalo
    { CHORUS }
    Afai ‘e te le fiafia
    Alofa ma taumafai
    afai fo’i e leai
    Pele ‘ea se’i tali mai
    Ua ave pea oe ‘i lou agaga
    O ‘oe fuga fai ma a’u agasala
    Pe o se avega ‘ua mamafa
    ‘I lo’u nei olaga
    Answer me oh my love
    Just what sin have I been guilty of
    Tell me how I came to lose your love
    Please answer me… my love
    You were mine yesterday
    I believe that love was here to stay
    Won’t you tell me where I’ve gone astray
    Please answer me… my love
    Ua ave pea oe i lo’u agaga
    ‘O ‘oe fuga fai ma a’u agasala
    Pe o se avega ‘ua mamafa
    I lo’u nei olaga
    Pe o se avega ua mamafa
    I lo’u nei olaga

      @@andrewvanisi7549 I don’t know his father’s side but I know his mom’s parents well. His Palangi grandmother was my English teacher in Liahona High School in Tonga in 1974. But I am sure that he has Samoan ancestors like so many of us Tongans. Many of us Tongans and Samoans are related because our ancestors were travelers, also Royalties would have their children married to other Royals from other Islands.
