For those asking for the translation... Let the tears fall For my heart is filled with sorrow For we have lost many beloved ones Give me some comfort To wash away this pain For we have lost many of our young women It’s hard to comprehend The 19 lives that were lost And along with it the future of our small nation. RIP cousin Uisau. 19 years have gone by and I will never forget the day you said Goodbye to me for the last time before going to Motufoua School on the beach of our very small atoll Niutao. I’ll see you again cousin.
@@doinderrbahhh8219 yeah but the ship goes around each island to collect the kids! So the last time they saw each other was on the shores, the day the ship came to Niutao to pick up the kids.
When I first heard this song used in the scene of Moana, despite not knowing the language I felt chills and became teary and it lead me here. Now I know, the meaning makes me understand how truly powerful this song is.
Even before looking up the meaning of the lyrics , or even finding the origins of the song from comments , something in me could feel that pain in the lyrics. That something was the cause of it & when I learned of the event , I cried. For the girls , their families , I just cried. Such a beautiful and powerful song.
When I heard this watching Moana, something told me it came from tears, but also with so much love and peace. It turned out to be even more touching that I could imagine when I read the lyrics and the history behind it. Such a beautiful and touching song...
On March 8th, 2000, a fire broke out in one of the dormitories for girls at Motufoua Secondary School on the island of Vaitupu in Tuvalu and took the lives of 18 girls & their Matron, the dorm Supervisor. The girls ages ranged from 14 to 17. It started as a secret way of studying at night after the light is turned off at bed time. One girl stayed up studyng using a candle. She must have fallen asleep without putting off the candle light and that's what started the tragic fire. Eighteen other girls escaped the inferno, only three of whom suffered burns. It was also reported that the Matron died as she attempted to battle past the flames to rescue the girls. Among those who died are 2 sisters and the adopted grand daughter of the former Finance Minister of the Government of Tuvalu, the late Henry Naisali. The tragic event touched all residents on the eight populated islands and atolls which make up Tuvalu as well as all Tuvaluan living away from Tuvalu.
I'm Micronesian and I don't even understand the song but just listening to the song itself, I can definitely feel the pain and the sorrow. Te Vaka you guys never fail to disappoint. Thank you a bunch for making such touching songs. God Bless
I wondered why this song filled my spirit first time I heard it and now I know why, very beautiful song but also sad bout those kids at that school, I'm sure they'll love this song
19 girls lost their lives at Motufoua Secondary boarding school, Vaitupu Is, Tuvalu back at 2000. What a tragedy, shock the whole nations and beyond the Pacific. I graduated 3 years earlier. Sad very sad. Good song dedicated to them. GB!!!
After just watching the production in Auckland 11/10/2020 Tinogafulu mo tokoiva my mind has so much knowledge and it still has left me shook 🥺 It was so good meeting the two survivors I heard them cry in the audience and I felt what they felt. Rest In Peace to the girls who didn’t make their dreams come true, who had plans for the future May you Rest In Peace ❤️🕊 Manuia tou Malaga

Lyly& Nzo iread some of the comments and what happen is there is a girl who use candle to study the whole day ofc back then they have no light who knows... and what happen is the candle burn the whole school the 19 girls trapped inside the school, they tried to scape but they cant so yeah they died there
apdroid geek thanks you very much ! Thanks to you i know their storie now and its so sad :( ... I'm a french student and I study new zealand and polunesian history ...Thank you bro :)
@apdroid geek...yes only one girl caused the problem. During those time most of our out islands only have power from 6am-10pm. So when the light go out in the dormitory then the girl used candle to finish her school work, but she felt asleep that's when the fire start. I have some related/cousins who have lost their lives...
the fire tragedy was on the 9th of March, 2000, time 11.00pm - 00.00 am, it took 15 mins to burnt down the whole building..and that was 11.25pm -11.40pm .. it was a sad moment for me seeing the dormitory filled with fire ... so 18 girls + 1 matron died and 18 were managed to escape from the fire... now these young girls/woman today are having good life, good job, have family etc..
I don't know but Everytime I hear this song it makes me cry... watching the baby Moana scene with this song playing in the background brought me to tears. beautiful song that's touched my soul 🌺❤
it all started from one girl who was studying with a candle at night. and above her was a net to keep the mosquitos.and he fell asleep and the candle fell and the net got caught on fire and all the other 19 girlswere also sleeping with nets above them. they were all sleeping in a dormitory.they woke up in fear and they started crying but they couldn't escape because the windows were bars
When I saw the movie moana and heard this song it made me feel sad and made me think of my dad that I just recently lost and now learning the true meaning of this touching song it make me ache also for those poor girls also such a beautiful and touching song I love to listen to it over and over
May the 19 lovely teine’s rest in paradise... My prayers go out to them 💙 Ofa atu ~Kilikinaalani of Fale’ula Samoa, and kingdom of Hawai’i Oceania 🇼🇸🌺 Ofa atu
Its Tuvaluan with a hint of Toke. Because Tuvaluan and Toke a pretty much the same... Literally. There is a huge population in Tuvalu where theres Toke in them. Same goes for Tokes. Theres a lot of Tuvaluan blood in em too. Im one of them. #TuvaluanPride
God bless the children and others at that school. may you translate this beautiful song in English if you would be so kind. Mahalo O'HANA 👑 HRH PRINCESS TIFFANY REED 👑 Kingdom of Maui Hawai'i and Oceania

I like this version better because the meaning of the lyrics actually connect to the origin of the song. It's more authentic than what the "Moana" version had.
beautiful voice🤗🤗🤗 tres bel voix mais les appareils ki font ke le son cloche dommage en tous les cas bravo a ce groupe pour avoir chanter les chanson de Vaiana (the Moana) sublime
OMG!! This is the Moana song “an innocent Warrior”!! I love this song!! This song is soo beautiful!! This song is what made me fall in love with the movie Moana. The perfect group to play this song. Great performance!! I would love to see this in person
Can i know which country did this song from?? And what is the story about this song?? It so beautiful and inspired me when i read the translation of this song, and what happen to the 19 girls?? Someone please tell me the story.. 😭
Amer Hyuga The original song was written in both Tuvaluan and Samoan. It tells of the sorrow from losing 19 lives. Apparently one of the girls was using a candle to study and fell asleep. Loimata means Tears and Maligi pronounced Malingi means to fall. So 'Loimata e Maligi' loosely translated means to Cry uncontrollably. Very sad and touched millions of people all over the world. In Moana the lyrics are changed about a girl finding her way 🌺
Loimata e maligi Toku loto fanoanoa Ko galo atu A fakapelepele Omai te fakamafanafanaga Solo te mae tenei Ko galo atu Na tamafine Faigata fakamalamalama Tino gafulu ma te toko iva Ave ai te lumanai A te atunuku Omai te fakamafanafanaga Solo te mae tenei Ko galo atu Na tamafine A fakapelepele Omai te fakamafanafanaga Solo te mae tenei Ko galo atu Na tamafine Loimata e maligi Toku loto fanoanoa Ko galo atu A fakapelepele Loimata e maligi

Anderson rondon tejada the girls name is Olivia Foa'i. Opetaia Foa'i (guitarist with the hat on the left) is the leader of the band and also her dad. Vai Mahina was one of the singers in the past.
For those asking for the translation...
Let the tears fall
For my heart is filled with sorrow
For we have lost many beloved ones
Give me some comfort
To wash away this pain
For we have lost many of our young women
It’s hard to comprehend
The 19 lives that were lost
And along with it the future of our small nation.
RIP cousin Uisau. 19 years have gone by and I will never forget the day you said Goodbye to me for the last time before going to Motufoua School on the beach of our very small atoll Niutao. I’ll see you again cousin.
I am so sorry for your loss...
I thought motufoua is located in vaitupu ??

What were the girls names?
who is the singer name
idk the girl's name but the band is Te Vaka and the guy with the guitar is Opetaia and he wrote the song :)
Original singer of song is Vai Mahina. This girls name is something Foai? Lol
Anderson rondon tejada the girls name is Olivia Foa'i. Opetaia Foa'i (guitarist with the hat on the left) is the leader of the band and also her dad. Vai Mahina was one of the singers in the past.
Anderson rondon tejada This is Olivia Foa'i. The original singer for this song and for the film 'Moana' is Vai Mahina.
The girl's name is Olivia Foai. She's Opetaia's daughter.
Wow I never knew this song came from that tragedy.... it was so beautiful when I heard it played in "Moana"
🙂
This is such a sad song. How does it fit in moana?
trop neeeit
😎🖒👌↩
Oh! I was told by my Samoan friend s that it was in Samoa not Tuvalu!
eggy epeli tell your friend to go fuck himself...
Lmao ga laia
eggy epeli this version is Tuvaluan. The version used in Moana is in Tokelau.
So the song was a tribute to the 19 lives lost.
