Tele i`a o le Sami
Tele fo'i la'au o le vao
Tele manu felelei i le lagii
Tele tenia afakasi
Ae sili ai oe la`u pele
Le lalelei o Samoa
Mate mai o la`u Tupua
Pe ete iloa le igoa

Tau moe atu fe le mamoe
Talu lei loha
Darling ia oe ta oona mea hai
Talu lefe ia vai
Ole mata ua
E mo`o mia e tanata
Elale lei Samoa
Ole fili ia tama

Let me hear you whisper
Let me hear you sigh
Let me feel your arms around me
As time goes by
Let the words you whisper

Make my dreams come true

Let me hold you near me

My whole life through

 

When your lips caress me

I'm all aglow

They tell me truly

What I want to know

 

So hold me close dear

Never let me go

Let me hear you whisper

I love you so

Hawai`i Version

Tele i`a ole sami

Tele fo`i la`au o le vao

Tele manu felelei i le lagi

Tele tama a`oe la`u pele

Le aulelei Samoa

Ma te mai lo`u tupua

Pe e te iloa le igoa

Let me hear your whisper
Let me hear your sigh
Let me put my arms around you
Let me hold you tight

Tu`u mai lo`u lima

Tautala my dear for a while

Sau ia, e le iloa

`O lo`u alofa lena

There are plenty of fish in the sea
There are plenty of trees in the woods
There are oh so plenty of birds flying in the sky
There are oh so handsome boys
But there's only one I love
He's the one I love and adore
He's the boy of Samoa

Male Version - Contributed by Ete Mose

Tele I`a o le Sami
Tele fo'i la'au o le Vao
Tele Manu felelei I le lagi
Tele teine afakasi
Ae sili ai oe la`u pele
Le lalelei o Samoa
Mate mai o la`u Tupua
Pe ete iloa le igoa

Let me hear you whisper
Let me hear you sigh
Let me put my arms around you
Let me hold you tight
Tu'u mai lou lima
Tautala my dear po'o ai
Tau ina e iloa
O lo'u alofa lena
