Sounds of Viti

Isa Lei
Isa Isa vulagi lassa dina Nomu lako au na rarawa kina Cava beka ko a mai cakava, Nomu lako au na sega ni lasa. Chorus: Isa Lei, na noqu rarawa, Ni ki sana vodo e na mataka Bau nanuma, na nodatou lasa, Mai Suva nanuma tiko ga. Vanua rogo na nomuni vanua, Kena ca ni levu tu na ua, Lomaqu voli me'u bau butuka Tovolea ke balavu na bula. (Chorus) Domoni dina na nomu yanuyanu, Kena kau wale na salusalu, Mocelolo, bua, na kukuwalu, Lagakali, maba na rosi damu. (Chorus) [English Translation] Isa, Isa you are my only treasure; Must you leave me, so lonely and foresaken? As the roses will miss the sun at dawning, Every moment my heart for you is yearning. Chorus: Isa Lei, the purple shadow falling, Sad the morrow will dawn upon my sorrow; O, forget not, when you're far away, Precious moments beside dear Suva. Isa, Isa, my heart was filled with pleasure, From the moment I heard your tender greeting; 'Mid the sunshine, we spent the hours together, Now so swiftly those happy hours are fleeting. (Chorus) O'er the ocean your island home is calling, Happy country where roses bloom in splendour; O, if I could but journey there beside you, Then forever my heart would sing in rapture. (Chorus)

 
 

National Anthem
Words by: Michael Francis Alexander Prescott (b. 1928)
English Version

Blessing grant oh God of nations on the isles of Fiji
As we stand united under noble banner blue
And we honour and defend the cause of freedom ever
Onward march together God bless Fiji

For Fiji, ever Fiji, let our voices ring with pride.
For Fiji ever Fiji her name hail far and wide,
A land of freedom , hope and glory to endure what ever befall.
May God bless Fiji
Forever more!

Blessing grant oh God of nations on the isles of Fiji
Shores of golden sand and sunshine, happiness and song
Stand united , we of Fiji, fame and glory ever
Onward march together God bless Fiji.

(The melody is based on an old traditional Fijian song)
Fiji became an independent Commonwealth country on the 10th of October , 1970.

Meda Dau Doka - Fijian Version

Meda dau doka ka vinakata na vanua
E ra sa dau tiko kina na savasava
Rawa tu na gauna ni sautu na veilomani
Biu na i tovo tawa savasava

Chrs...
Me bula ga ko Viti
Ka me toro ga ki liu
Me ra turaga vinaka ko ira na i liuliu
Me ra liutaki na tamata
E na veika vinaka
Me oti kina na i tovo ca

Me da dau doka ka vinakata na vanua
E ra sa dau tiko kina na savasava
Rawa tu na gauna ni sautu na veilomani
Me sa biu na i tovo tawa yaga

Bale ga vei kemuni na cauravou e Viti
Ni yavala me savasava na vanua
Ni kakua ni vosota na dukadukali
Ka me da sa qai biuta vakadua.
