“Vunimoli Still Standing”
Verse 1 (English)
From Lokia village to Cunningham Street,
The Cuvatoka family always finds a seat,
From fourteen provinces, near and far,
Different paths, but we know who we are.
We sit round the tanoa till the morning light,
Crack our jokes, talk strong through the night,
Words may cut, laughter may sting,
But love is the root of everything.

Verse 1 (VakaViti)
Mai Lokia ki Cunningham, eda soqoni vata,
Na Cuvatoka, dua ga na yavusa, dua ga na mata,
Mai na yasana tini ka va eda lako mai,
Duidui na sala, ia dua ga na rai.

Chorus (English)
We drink the grog, we argue loud,
We laugh till we wake the whole damn crowd,
But when the night comes to an end,
Family love is how we mend.
From Vunimoli, we rise, we stand,
Built on blood, on heart, on land,
No matter how far life takes me,
Cuvatoka is home to me.

Chorus (VakaViti)
Eda gunu yaqona, eda veivosaki,
So na gauna e bibi na vosa eda cavuta,
Ia ni sa cava na bogi ka malumu na yalo,
Na loloma ni vuvale sa tudei ga tiko.
Mai Vunimoli, eda tubu ka tudei,
Ena dra ni kawa kei na noda vanua eda dei,
Se yawa na sala eda lako kina,
Na yalo ni vuvale e sega ni yali rawa.

Verse 2 (English)
Different minds, different ways,
But one respect passed down through days,
Our strength lives on in who we are,
Guiding us like the northern star.

Verse 2 (VakaViti)
Duidui na vakanananu, duidui na sala,
Ia dua ga na vakarokoroko sa vakadewataki mai,
Na kaukauwa ni vuvale e tiko ena noda yalo,
Na ivakavuvuli mai vei ira na qase.

Bridge (Soft / Emotional)

English:
Even when we fall apart,
The roots still pull us back to start.
VakaViti:
Se mani dui sara na noda yalo,
Na vu ni vuvale e sureti keda lesu tale mai.

Final Chorus (Together)
We drink the grog, we tell old lies,
Eda wasea na dredre kei na marau ni bula,
When all is done and words are gone,
Cuvatoka love still carries on.
From Lokia, Cunningham, near and far,
Mai Vunimoli, eda tekivu ka mai tini,
One house, one name, one family,
E dua ga na yalo — forever we’ll be.

Outro
We joke, we fight, we speak our mind,
Ia na loloma ni vuvale e sega ni oti rawa,
Vunimoli still standing, strong and true,
Cuvatoka — this is you.
