Kokogi i Pologi (Rewarded with Blondes)

Here’s an excerpt of what the Prime Minister of Samoa said during a pep talk to a contingent of rugby players (Samoa A) before they left for a tour of Australia. I will not translate it. If you don’t speak or understand Samoan, have a friend or relative translate the excerpt - and the rest of the post (minus the linked article)... LOL!

"Ia aua nei galo iā oe a lelei lau taalo ua maua mea uma e te manao ai e oo foi i teine pologi, a lelei lau taalo e afe au pologi e maua.  Ia outou vaai i le tama o Manu Tuilagai ou te leiloa poo ua fia ni aga pologi aisea? Leaga foi e taufao e teine pologi aua e lelei le taalo. O lona uiga e faigofie lava le tali o mea uma o lou olaga, a lelei lau taalo tele tupe e ola ai ou matua uso ma tuafafine, tele teine pologi e fai ai lau filifiliga mo sou toalua."

Oute matua iloa ma malamalama i le agaga o le saunoaga a le Palemia, o le taumafai e faamalosi’au ma u’una’i tama ta’aalo ina ia manatua e iai taui o le ta’alo malosi ma le tauivi mo le manumalo. Peita'i, sa tatau i le Palemia ona ‘alo ‘ese mai i le faia o ni faamatalaga faaitu’au, faailoga lanu ma le faailoga tagata (racist comments), e le onomea ma talafeagai ona fai e se tagata iloga po'o se ta'ita'i o se malo ma se atunu’u. I se isi itu, e taunu’u ai le upu “Atonu e sa’o ae le a’o.”  Faamoemoe o iai ni fautua lelei mo le Palemia i tulaga faapea.

A tu’u i se faaupuga faigofie, fai mai le Palemia i le ‘au lakapi “A oukou faamaogi, o kou kokogi o pologi.” O le fesili la, Mr. PM, so what happened to the voluptuous teine Samoa? ... teine vae lapopo’a, o teine pito i aulelei na (ideal beauty)?  Mr. PM, remember the Miss World complaint? Hahahaaa... ua galo fo’i a?

Ia outou teine Samoa, ia o loa e dye uma tou ulu faa-pologi.... if not naturally blonde, then be legally blonde. LOL!!!... Ia ona uma ai lea o se manatu.
