To live and breathe
As queer and Samoan-
Is to walk a hundred tight ropes-
Only to fall,
And land on another tightrope
On another tightrope
On another tightrope
On another tightrope
La’u teine Samoa, my Samoan girl
You are truly a queen
Skin as brown as a coconut husk
Stronger than any man I have seen
La’u teine Samoa, my Samoan girl
Your grace exceeds any other
