While I may not be of Pacific Islander blood, (I'm Japanese) I live, and have for my entire life, in Hawaii... this is proof that our ocean does not separate us, but unites us in common humanity.
@@vdotme Unfortunately there is no written word for the song. It was made by a Tongan soldier in WWII. A man named Captain Heneli (Henry) Taliai who sacrificed himself to take out a small Japanese base in the Solomon Islands buying time for American troops to arrive for reinforcements. He knew it would be his last time seeing his men so he sang his death song and his soldiers caught on and sang along with him as the lyrics are repetitive. A constant reminder to his men to NEVER fear, but to live and die by Tonga's values. To walk in the light of God both in life and in death. Damn proud of my Heritage. Tongan: Tau fakataha he feohi fiefia A eva, a eva, i he maama. Tau feofa aki koe Otua tene ha'u. A eva, a eva, i he maama. A eva i he maama!!! A eva i he maama!!! A eva i he maama!!! Eva i he maama oe Otua!!! English: We meet as one together on this joyous occasion to walk, to walk in the light let us love as one for the Lord is soon approaching to march, to march in the light Onward. walking, in the light!!! Onward. walking, in the light!!! Onward. walking, in the light!!! Marching in the light of God!!!
Once in a while, I'll encounter some fellow Tongans in the Army and even though we don't know each other, from then on we'll hang out like we grew up together because islanders have each others' backs always.
Tongans and Samoans are always singing, even through gloomy and trying times to ease the pain and boost morale - be it a war chant or a hymn to the Almighty. Respect to the tokos. Saturday aft - February 4, 2023.
In every clime and place once a Marine... Always a Marine, Merry Christmas to all my brothers out there serving away from home this holiday season. Come home soon, come home safe and God Bless.
Blessings and best wishes from Samoa to all these man and their fellow countrymen all over the world - There is not enough of us to remain divided gentlemen.

Youngboy Emile.. siana Tonga isn't the ONLY island thats independent, Plus your NOT the only country that hasn't lost their ROYALtY to foreign nation. Quit sugar coating your brothers dumb statement. 👍
It’s a Tongan Christian song called “Light of God” according to the 2:05. “Be grateful and sing with Joy as you journey and travel in the Light. You journey in the light, we journey, in the light, we journey in the light, we journey in the light of the Lord.” That’s the chorus.

Man I was in a unit with a dude from Okinawa, dude fucken hated being referred as Japanese. Those dudes are pretty much Pacific Islanders too
They are singing religious song, about God, Tongan is a Christian kingdom,
A Tongan Proffesor Epeli Hau'ofa wrote a book on this very thing , the oceans connect us
How the hell Japanese has any common unity with US marine while you are a separate nation with different culture?
@@KBoogiie You sounds like a racist dude,aren't ya?

Pacific Islanders are great warriors and nice people. Look how well they do at rugby and NFL.
Had a Samoan squad leader in 1st Ranger Bn back in the 1990s. Tough as nails. He even wore his lava-lava (am I correct in the name?) when partying.
lol yea dude, ie lavalava
pfdrtom j
As good as any choir. Only a Tongan could sing a song about going to kill every living thing and make it sound beautiful.
Very true. Do you know the name of the first song and any possible transcript.

Can someone who speak Tongan translate what they're signing about @ 215 ish? The melody is just purely beautiful.
I’m not Tongan, but we have a Samoan version of this song and it’s about Walking in the light of God. Samoan & Tongan language are quite similar .
It’s a Tongan Christian song called “Light of God” according to the 2:05. “Be grateful and sing with Joy as you journey and travel in the Light. You journey in the light, we journey, in the light, we journey in the light, we journey in the light of the Lord.” That’s the chorus.
