From the recording Ki mua
An idea of what the great Polynesian god Tagaloa (god of the sea) was then and is today. From his many feats to meet the constant demands for help and assistance from his people before the arrival of the missionaries, up to when he fell from grace - replaced by another god - to today, where he watches and waits.........
Tokelau language
TAGALOA (God of the Sea)
Lyrics & Music - Opetaia Foa'i
Tagaloa, Tagaloa ko he talohaga e fai faipea
mo tou latou puipuiga
malu mo tou fakatagaga
moa latou taumafaiga taumafaiga uma
Tagaloa fakalogo tu mau pea
Tagaloa (God of the Sea)
Tagaloa, Tagaloa they are still praying for you
for your protection for your permission
for all their many adventures in life
Tagaloa listen for they wish for you to remain
