Talofa,
I Amerika Samoa, matou te faatāua a matou tu poo aga. Matou te le liuagofie pe seetiagofie i le malū o le tai taeao; o se tasi lea o itu matou te malosi ai! E tusa lava pe sui le lalolagi, ma tupu le tekonolosi, matou te faatāua tu masani ma la matou aganuu mai anamua; matou te faaaloalo i o matou tagata matutua. E lelei o matou ala. E le tatau fo'i ona faauiga sese ma faaaoga sese pe faaoleole e ufiufi ai se mea leaga. O sauaga i totonu o aiga e le tusa ai lea ma le faa-Samoa. E tala'i e le faa-Samoa le faaeaina ma le mamalu, ae le o le maasiasi.
