The ula (dance) is an ancient Tongan group dance, already reported by early European navigators like captain Cook. It is also known as fahai-ula (split dance), which may be degenerated to fahaiula. It is still danced nowadays, although less popular than its descendant the tauolunga. ==Lyrics== The oldest parts seem to be from Sāmoan origin: Oiau, sia langi ula; i iē fai mai sia tauolunga. io! Tulopa he iau moe; io ē! vasaleva iau moe; io! Sina vai tava ā ē he iē, ā ē. Sina vai tafe lou lonā. io, io, he lou lonā. Tunotuna oe Ale-le-sā, manuia oe saualuma. Laulau tui Vaea ē, Vaea lau mānaia. These parts are from the beginning of the 20th century: Tonga, Tonga ē, tulituli faiva, he tuli faiva ē pei kau mua pei kau mai ke tau kalofi kuo tau e langi tulituli faiva, he tuli faiva ē. Tonga, Tonga ē, tulituli faiva, he tuli faiva ē ko e faiva ni ko hoto kakala o lau taanga pea fola haka tulituli faiva, he tuli faiva ē. Tonga, Tonga ē, tulituli faiva, he tuli faiva ē kuo ke meai sioto founga fiemālie tuku ke u ula tulituli faiva, he tuli faiva ē. And then there are still more variants. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ula (dance)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
