Thanks Dom, this is a beautiful version. This song tells a beautiful story from my home village of TUNGUA, HAAPAI. My Father would always play this song and tell us the story behind the song over and over… This song was composed by late TEVITA LAUFOLAU TAU r.i.p of Tungua, ‘O’ua Ha’apai (as mentioned in the lyrics: Laufolau ‘ofa si’i paea) to his late sister Latai r.i.p who’s also mentioned in the lyrics (Latai ‘a si’eta mavae tangi). Latai passed away whilst her children were young Fekau’aki, ‘Anau, Lautaimi, Melevai, ‘Ofa, ‘Ilavalu and Tau (Tau the youngest being at the age of 18months old at the time). Latai’s final wishes was for her children to remain together no matter what so Laufolau and their mother Kongakava (who’s also mentioned in the lyrics: Kava ho le’o na ke ma fe’ao) raised Latai’s kids until they’re grown and responsible enough then the 3 girls Lautaimi, Melevai and Ofa had the opportunity to come here to NZ to their father. Only then Laufolau married out and had a family of his own. Thanks for reading… peace!
