SAMOAN LYRICS

Amerika Samoa
Lo'u atunu'u pele oe
Ou te tiu i lou igoa
O oe o lo'u fa'amoemoe
O oe o le Penina o le Pasefika
E mo'omia e motu e lima
E ua ta'uta'ua au aga i fanua
Ma ou tala mai anamua
Tutuila ma Manu'a
Ala maia tu i luga
Tautua ma punou i lou Malo
Ia manuia ia ulu ola
Amerika Samoa
O le Malo o le Sa'olotoga

American Samoa
You are my beloved country
Your name I shan\'t search for
You are my hope
You are the jewel of the pacific
That is the lure of the five islands E ua
Your name forever holds
Your legends of yore 
Tutuila and Manu\'a Ala mai
Stand up and be counted 
Serve and bow down to your country 
Let it be blessed and grow 
American Samoa 
The land of the free
