Rosi ni Lau (Sa Malo)

This song is a tribute to the Lewa ni Lau—celebrating their beauty, grace, and the values they are known for. Inspired by the peaceful islands of Lau and the rhythm of the ocean, the lyrics honor not only outward beauty, but also humility, respect, kindness, faith, and strong cultural identity.

More than a song about appearance, it reflects the inner strength of Lauan women—their vakaturaga manner, yalomalua spirit, deep family values, and love for tradition. The blend of English and iTaukei words represents the harmony between modern life and cultural roots.

This is a song of appreciation, pride, and respect for the daughters of Lau—past, present, and future.
May this song remind us that true beauty lives in character, heritage, and the way we carry ourselves wherever we go.

Lyrics -Rosi ni Lau

Intro:
Oi… Malo
From the islands where the sun meets the sea,
Lau queens, beautiful and strong.
Check it, Rosi ni Lau,
Ko ya ga gi

Verse 1:
Born where the ocean whispers every name,
noqu Rosi ni lau, carrying honor and flame.
Smooth as the breeze on a Lauan morn,
With smiles that shine like the day you were born.
Modesty, grace, written in their way,
Respect in their steps, no matter where they stay.

Pre-Chorus:
From Lau shores to shore, iko tu ga
Your beauty is more than what eyes adore.
Na nomu yalomalua, ka vakaturaga,
Inner strength makes your light burn brighter.

Chorus:
Rosi ni Lau, na kemu I raira sa vaka na vula ena bogi.
Nomu smile edau mosita na yaloqu mai loma
Na nomu I vosavosa, edau tara na yaloqu mai loma
Rosi ni Lau, au domoni iko full speed no break.
Malumu ni yalomu, sa vaka na boi ni Bua
Na nomuni ivakarau, sa kilai tu.

Verse 2:
Known for kindness, respect, and care,
For gentle words and loving prayer.
Strong family roots, deep cultural pride,
Carrying tradition wherever you reside.
Faith in God, values held tight,
Walking with purpose, doing what is right.

Pre-Chorus 2:
Not just beauty on the outside shine,
But wisdom and love woven inside.
na veikilai, na dina, na veilomani,
That’s the Rosi ni Lau identity.

Chorus:
Rosi ni Lau, na kemu I raira sa vaka na vula ena bogi.
Nomu smile edau mosita na yaloqu mai loma
Na nomu I vosavosa, edau tara na yaloqu mai loma
Rosi ni Lau, au domoni iko full speed no break.
Malumu ni yalomu, sa vaka na boi ni Bua
Na nomuni ivakarau, sa kilai tu.

Bridge:
When you enter a room, peace follows through,
Na kemu I rairai, na nomu I vosavosa.
Strong like the tides, calm like the sea,
Queens of Lau, born to lead quietly.

Final Chorus:
Rosi ni Lau, na marama lagilagi,
With gentle power and dignity.
From generation to generations true,
Your beauty lives in all you do.
Wasawasa e tagi ena domomuni,
Rosi ni Lau, tu gi tu ga.

Outro:
So this song we sing, with love and truth,
For the daughters of Lau, from old to youth.
Forever shining, wherever you go,
Rosi ni Lau, the world should know.
