This Web site
has been developed by a Tuvaluan for the people of Tuvalu, friends of Tuvalu and
for
visitors who are always most welcome.
The Polynesian country of
Tuvalu consists of nine islands located in the central western Pacific Ocean. Each
of these islands of Tuvalu is both unique and individual in its origin,
its myths and legends and culture.
|
The
history of Tuvalu goes back over 5000 years and is a fascinating blend of myths,
folklore and reality. It is something to be admired and it is something that
needs to be preserved.
The islands of
Tuvalu are:
Namumea,
Nanumaga,
Niutao,
Nui,
Vaitupu,
Nukufetau,
Funafuti,
Nukulaelae
and
Niulakita. You are invited to visit each of these islands and to
observe and appreciate the unique beauty and background of these islands and our
people.
The Links to the
left will be your guide to take you on a guided tour of
Tuvalu.
A
Chat Room
has been made available for the use of all welcome visitors. Should you require further information

TUVALU, MY TUVALU
Tuvalu, my
Tuvalu the land across the sea
Surrounded by the ocean, you mean so much to me
I miss these coral atolls with gentle swaying palms
With smiling gentle people, so peaceful and so calm.
Tuvalu, my
Tuvalu I always think of you
Wherever I may travel across the sea so blue
And deep inside me I know that it will be
Tuvalu, my Tuvalu you always think of me.
Your sons and
daughters travel away to distant lands
They leave their homes and families so that they will understand
To study truth and knowledge in sadness and in pain, and then
Tuvalu, my Tuvalu you welcome them home again.
Tuvalu, my
Tuvalu may God’s blessings be on you
To give you strength and courage to see the future through
And may our blessed people hold their heads up high
Tuvalu, my Tuvalu I will love you till I die.

I
hear the waves on our island shore
They sound much louder than they did before
A
rising swell flecked with foam
Threatens the existence of our island home.
A strong wind
blows in from a distant place
The palm trees
bend like never before
Our crops are
lost to the rising sea
And water covers
our humble floor.
Our people are leaving for a distant shore
And soon Tuvalu
may be no more
Holding on to the
things they know are true
Tuvalu my Tuvalu,
I cry for you.
And as our people are forced to roam
To another land
to call their home
And as you go to
that place so new
Take a little
piece of Tuvalu with you.
Tuvalu culture is rare and unique
And holds a
message we all should seek
Hold our culture
way up high
And our beloved
Tuvalu will never die.
