"Ua Masa'a" by Shepherds Reign | New single and video out now
The lead single from Shepherds Reign’s forthcoming album is a tale with heartache and familial tragedy at its core. The song shares the story of Filiva’a’s sister who was murdered by her spouse and his family. Laden with anger, Filiva’a voices the thoughts his sister would have felt prior to her death. “Ua masa’a le ipu vai” is translated to “The cup has spilt”, a symbolic look at the love once shared, lost like water in a broken cup.

VERSE 1
Le anoano o mea na ou fai mo oe ma lou aiga.
(The countless things that I have done for you and your family.)
Ae maise o lo'u alofa ia oe, ua lipi ma se mea ua totoe.
(Especially the love I had for you, there is absolutely nothing left.)
Na ou faiatu lelei ia oe, 'aua e te tofotofoina a'u.
(I specifally told you to not test me.)
Ae faifai pea lou amiolilo. Mea la lea, alu e aikae!
(But you continue to be cunning. So go eat shit!)
Ua masa'a le ipu vai. (x3)
(The cup has spilt (x3))
Ua masa'a le!
(It has spilt!)
CHORUS
Lou valea. Lou leaga. E te oti i o'u lima.
(Your stupidity. Your wickedness. You will die by my hands.)
VERSE 2
A tu mai nei e pei se agelu. Tala'i solo lou faatuatua.
(You stand there with your angelic presence. Preaching around about your faith.)
Ae talofae i lou olaga. Ua e malaia i lou leaga.
(Sadly your life is cursed by your evil ways.)
Sau loa la'ia e nofo i lalo. Mapuni lou nutu ma fa'alogo mai.
(Now come and sit down. Shut your mouth and listen here.)
Oute alatu i ina talepe ma oe. Mea la lea alu e aikae!
(I'm coming to break you. So go eat shit!)
Ua masa'a le ipu vai. (x3)
(The cup has spilt (x3))
Ua masa'a le!
(It has spilt!)
CHORUS
Lou valea. Lou leaga. E te oti i o'u lima.
(Your stupidity. Your wickedness. You will die by my hands.)
Ua masa'a le ipu vai (x2)
(The cup has spilt (x2))
CHORUS
Lou valea. Lou leaga. E te oti i o'u lima.
(Your stupidity. Your wickedness. You will die by my hands.)
