Lyrics - Samoan
(Folk song from Samoa)
Moemoe pepe
Tumu tumu le laau
A agi le matagi e lue atu ma toe sau
A gau le lala
paū le moega
Malie oe pepe lau faaluega
Tagi mai le pepe
tagi mai le fia ai
Ua faasusu e le Tina ma toe moe le lelavã
Pepe pepe moe aua ete tagi.
Sei alu mama e tala’i.
Le tala lelei ile lalolagi.
I uo ma e ua masani
English Translation - Sleeping Baby
Rock a bye baby
On the tree top
When the wind blows
The cradle will rock
When the bough breaks
The cradle will fall
And down will come baby, cradle and all
The baby is crying because she’s hungry
Then mother feeds her, and puts her back to sleep as she is tired
Sleep baby, please don’t cry
Your mother is going to share the good word to the whole world
And to friends and families.
