Pusi Nofo

I have recordings of three of the four versions here:

1) From Samoa Sings (TTBB version): this performance is by the Graduate Choir directed by Terence Maskell from the wonderful 2005 CD titled 'My Spirit Sang All Day' [ACD 105]. Please buy this CD and support one of the very finest and most uniquely New Zealand choirs. You may purchase it online here.

2) From Samoa Sings (SSAA version): this performance is by the Young Voices of Melbourne directed by Mark O'Leary from their 1997 CD titled 'International A Cappella'. You can find details of how to purchase this delightful CD on the choir's website above.

3) From Two Samoan Folksongs (SA and piano). A performance by the Hampshire Choral Society's Young People's Chorus conducted by K.C. Conlan.

Pusi Nofo

Pusi nofo,
Nofo i luga o le fala,
E po atu e ia 'imoa,
Pusi mata tio, peti,
Nofo i luga o le fala.
Cat On The Mat 

Hey cat,
Sitting on the mat,
How about catching some rats,
You alert, fat cat,
Sitting on the mat.
