The Morning Benders - Excuses
You tried to taste me,
And I taped my tongue to the southern tip of your body.
Our bones are too heavy to come up,
Squished into a single cell of wood. I made an excuse.
You found another way to tell the truth.The Morning Benders - Excuses - http://motolyrics.com/the-morning-benders/excuses-lyrics-tongan-translation.html
I put no one else above us.
We'll still be best friends when all turns to dust. We are so smooth now.
Our edges are beaten, drift wood whittled down.
Old bodies slip when they make love.
We'll mine our sparks to shoot us above.
The Morning Benders - Ngaahi Fakamolemole (Tongan translation)
Naa ke faitaki ke 'oli au,
Pea na'e piki au hoku 'elelo ki he tapa 'o ho sino.
Ko 'etau ngaahi hui, 'oku fuu mamafa ke ha'u ki 'olunga,
Fuhinga ia 'i he selle e taha 'ovava.
Neu ai au ha fakamolemole.
Naa ke kumi 'aki ha fali'unga taha ke tala 'a e mo'oni.The Morning Benders - Excuses - http://motolyrics.com/the-morning-benders/excuses-lyrics-tongan-translation.html
E 'ikai teu fa'o a taha 'i 'olunga kitaua.
Te mau pehe ha kau me'a lelei 'aupito kapau 'oku fetongi ki 'efu 'a e me'a kotoa.
'Oku mau heheke lelei taimi ni.
'Oku matofa he mau ngaahi tapa, 'ovava lelea hifihifi ki lalo.
Heke e he kau sino motu'a 'i he fai 'ofa.
Te mau keli he mau ngaahi fetapaki ke fana'i 'i olunga kitaua.
