Thank you for sharing this song. It reminds me of my expeditions to Fiji in 1994 and 1995. I led Japan and Fiji Youth adventure program in main island. Village people sung this song for us. It was so beautiful and heart warming!
thankyou so much for this..im from vanuabalavu.this song brings back memories of my grandma.she died a few years ago at her old age,but she never forgot the shores of lomaloma and this song was heard in our house every day she was alive..isa Nau au sa tailasa saraga..malo
What a beautifully sung song, loved teaching this to the children. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 Lomaloma na toba vaka loloma Tiko kina na vei mataqali roka e domoni e domoni ko Lau e loma Isa isa ko Lomaloma oiyawe oiyawe, sita I ne ia ia ko na kakala Na toba au rui domona Rui domona isa isa ko Lomaloma.

hahahahaha...... nice to know that you enjoyed one of fiji classics. Its a song that almost every Fijian knew by heart and often sung in almost every big happy occasions. You can hear this song in the wee hours of morning as well, coming out of unusual places..!! ".the Beer lovers.". with their cracky slow renditon of the song........ hahahahahahahah. Have a bless day.
This song is dedicated has my father mister VAKAULIAFA SIMIONE who left us for a better world! You will always remain present in our hearts for ever! I love you!!!
Hello..! Loloma is a vilage in a group of island known as the Lau group. The song narrates its beauty,its many colours, the love that lingers within, accompanied by that deep emotional feeling of attachment to the place and the joy to be part of it. Note that the word "Isa"..is very much part of this song, a phrase which depicts many meanings. Isa carries passion, good memeories,parting or your wish for something to eventuate and most of all that never ending love . Hope that will help.
'OIAUE, 'OIAUE SI'I TA'AHINE 'IA 'IA 'A HONO KAKALA Thats the right lyrics for that part of the song which is tongan and thats how it is written. vinaka vaka levu
Charles Wright Fijians are are Mixed with Melanesian and Polynesia, people from the highland in fiji have a strong Melanesian features, while people of the coastline and outter islands have strong polynesian features.
This song is about the natural beauty of Lomaloma in the Lau Group. Whilst song is sung by a well known Fijian female artist, it will not be suprising that the inspiration would be Tongan (judging from some of the lyrics) as the Lau Group has a strong Tongan influence.
true.......Iam a Tongan, and this song is about a place in the Lau Group called LOMA LOMA. Majority of the people in Lau are half Fijian half Tongan. That's why some of the lyrics in this song are mixing of Fiji and Tonga......I respect my Fijian brothers and sisters. BULA and URO to all Fijians out there......
@barracuda I am Fijian but this song was inspired from a Tongan song...give credit where it belong! Don't be big headed we are all one people.. just enjoy the song.
Thank you. There was a time in the past where we would visit each other: In the mid 60's I remember a group from Fiji visited my village in Tonga. They had exchange of gifts: mats mainly. Lots of singing and kava at night. And re-connection with families. We have Fijian connections in our families in Tonga. And we have Tongan connection in Fiji. I remember as a student in Fiji I was waiting for a bus in a village called Waimaqera in Taveuni, when a boy and a girl came and said: Our mum wants you to come to our house. I went along and found this Tongan lady married to a Fijian living in a village call Waimaqera in Taveuni.
@Timothy GuilLaume could you please explain what those words mean. A french friend of mine asked me to translate the song into French but I am stuck at the Tongan lyrics. I can't translate that bit. I'd very much appreciate your help.. Merci.

Lomaloma na toba vaka loloma
Tiko kina na vei mataqali roka
e domoni e domoni ko Lau e loma
Isa isa ko Lomaloma
oiyawe oiyawe,
sita I ne ia ia ko na kakala
Na toba au rui domona
Rui domona isa isa ko Lomaloma.
Ko Apenisa na vuni vuni kakala
Loto’a na vanua ni lasa
e domoni ko Lau e Loma
Isa isa ko Lomaloma
oiyawe oiyawe,
sita I ne ia ia ko na kakala
Na toba au rui domona
Rui domona isa isa ko Lomaloma.
