I love how Olivia's songs have a traditional mixed with modern vibes in it! She's a whole package of pure talent, brains and beauty. Lovely song.🌼🍃 Listening in from Fiji.
I was born to move like this You were born to do this too We were made to feel this groove They don't need to understand Hiding tryna play it cool But we should give 'em something new Baby won't you take my hand We don't have to play pretend Show them how we're different Kua leva lava kave kehe (Been a while since we parted) Kua leva ki taua lue (Been a while since we swayed) Hakahaka mate mata malie (Dancing with an easy smile) Taku pepe (My baby) And with that look in your eyes I can see That you feel the same way So just take my hand Let's take it back E ko te lue lue mai ve (Hey, you gotta shake it like that) Fakaaliali mai (And really show it) E toa tele tele kehe (Hey, so bold so different) Hau La (Come on) E koe ki na (Hey you there) Aua te mataku (Don't be afraid) He popole ni tagata matamata mai (Don't worry about people looking) Olo koe ki ei (Just go for it) Thanks to Olivia for posting this on fb. I wish every Poly artist do this, post the meaning of their songs so I won't go crazy in finding the meaning for my dances 🙂. God bless Ms Foa'i.
English lyrics translated into maori (at least my attempt): E whanau ana au kia neke nei, e whanau ana hoki i a koe, e miria rongo tena kani e, e kare ratau i mohio nei. (Hau ra!!) E whatungaro, e noho ana taua, e kimihia taku ringa e, e kare taua e nohonga nei, e whaawhaki ai i te rereke (E)!! (Tokelau chorus) Me te kitenga o to mata e kite, e rongo ana koe i te paatahi ei, E kimihia taku ringa e, toku tau, e taua hoki e!! (Tokelau chorus and finish). Loooove your work!! have often played this song on repeat both on youtube and spotify!!
To be honest... I've fanned you since small and now being a leader for a hula group in school I've used your songs because I can connect to it.... And people love it... Thank you
When my heart aches for the sea... for life lost on the waves of time... I come here and my soul finds an ocean of peace... of joy to keep sailing until I am home.... ❤️
I'm so proud 😍❤️ 😍 of being a Polynesian 🙌 Thanks 😊😘 so much Olivia ❤️ Foai for making a island modern twist to your choreography and music you are beautiful and talented. Keep up with the good work, I love it. Much love from Aotearoa New Zealand.
This is HOT. Love the infusion with tradition and hiphop dance. Your dance partner is awesome. Great song, Brilliant choreography 👏🏽 Love from Brisbane Australia 😁
I dont understand the language, what does it mean, but its so nice and pleasing to the ears, this makes me dance though im not a real dancer, it makes my hips moves
Different is great . I must say I got goosebumps listening to your vibe. You're amazing never stop being who you are. Looking forward to more of your music . Keep growing .
I can definitely appreciate that the cultural influences in the dances performed here are from a combination of multiple South Pacific island nations. With a millennial spin on it. Malo sa’esa’e from American Samoa 🤙🏽
Many island aseans r connected Japanese and Filipinos where put on plantations in hawaii and guam and samoa have citizenship but cant vote on there island since usa controls it
Your song have given me a inspiration idea to help my granddaughter who is 8 year old has never seen nor taught a traditional siva dance and after watching this clip I like the infusion of mixed emotions put into the dance.....Thank you for sharing your video clip 👏🏻👏🏻💖

At first I thought the transitions were rough, but I can't stop listening to it. I love how soft but deep the beat is and I love the melody, interesting modern and traditional steps. Good job, I can't wait to hear more.

I was born to move like this
You were born to do this too
We were made to feel this groove
They don't need to understand
Hiding tryna play it cool
But we should give 'em something new
Baby won't you take my hand
We don't have to play pretend
Show them how we're different
Kua leva lava kave kehe
(Been a while since we parted)
Kua leva ki taua lue
(Been a while since we swayed)
Hakahaka mate mata malie
(Dancing with an easy smile)
Taku pepe
(My baby)
And with that look in your eyes I can see
That you feel the same way
So just take my hand
Let's take it back
E ko te lue lue mai ve
(Hey, you gotta shake it like that)
Fakaaliali mai
(And really show it)
E toa tele tele kehe
(Hey, so bold so different)
Hau La
(Come on)
E koe ki na
(Hey you there)
Aua te mataku
(Don't be afraid)
He popole ni tagata matamata mai
(Don't worry about people looking)
Olo koe ki ei
(Just go for it)

Without a doubt the Pacific is home to the most diverse sexiest women in the world .
So beautiful...the wardrobe, happy faces, and choreography just infuse the music with freshness!
Still one of my favorite songs. Love from Fiji🇫🇯❤️
Fakafetai lahi lele. Aww, got teary seeing and hearing this. Malo toku taina. You make Tokelau proud
