La’u Lupe Ua Lele (My Dove Has Flown)
(Written by John Alailima c 1906 for his Tongan sweetheart who died suddenly of illness)
La’u lupe ua lele. Lele i le vaomaoa
Talofa e i la’u pele!
O la’u pele ua leiloa
Tali:
‘Ua touluulu mai o le sau mai Heremoni e
Ua to’ulu lealofa I le mauga o Kipeona
Ta’aga e a tama o lo’ua gasolo mai
O’u mata e tilotilo e te le o sau ai
La’u fualosa e, la’u fua veloveta e
O la’u fua ua ui moto ae le’i matala e
Oi Oi Oi e! I lenei malaia
O le oti fa’afuase’I I le lalolagi e
My Dove has flown.
He has flown to the deep forest.
Oh my beloved sweetheart is lost.
Chorus:
The dew from Heremon drips down (on me).
My love (for him) drops on the mountain of Kipson (Biblical places).
A procession of boys walk by.
My eyes looked, but you were not among them.
My rose flower, my velvet flower.
My flower was picked before its full blossom.
Alas! Alas! This calamity,of sudden death on this earth.
