Samoan Siva Tau vs South Africa


This is from todays game between Samoa and South Africa at Ellis Park in Johannesburg. The Manu Siva Tau is the Samoan war dance, performed by the Samoa's sporting teams before each match. It instills a huge deal of pride & passion as well as serving to be a fantastic psyche up for the players.

Samoan
Le Manu Samoae ia malu ona fai o le faiva,le manu samoae ia malu ona fai o le faiva
Le Manu Samoa lenei ua ou sau
Leai se isi Manu oi le atu laulau
Ua ou sai nei ma le mea atoa
O lou malosi ua atoatoa
Ia e faatafa ma e soso ese
Leaga o lenei manu e uiga ese
Le Manu Samoa
Le Manu Samoa
Le Manu Samoa e o mai I Samoa hi

English
The Manu Samoa, may you succeed in your mission
The Manu Samoa, here I come
There is no other Manu (team) anywhere
Here I come completely prepared
My strength is at its peak
Make way and move aside
Because this Manu is unique
The Manu Samoa
The Manu Samoa
The Manu Samoa reigns from Samoa

  • looks as though they have tried to copy da haka but made it in to more of a modern dance than an old tribal war dance that the haka is!!!

  • The Samoan war dance has nothing to do with the Haka...its totally different, you would have to be a Pacific Islander to understand it in details....so pls do not make judgments on things u do not understand....cheerio

  • The Siva Tau is definitely a different expression and meaning then the Haka, as well as the Sipi Tau from Tonga. I am Tongan and i believe and feel that each chant has passion and meaning far beyond comprehension! Whether or not it is from New Zealand, Fiji, Samoa, or my island Tonga, it is all filled with meaning and passion!!
