Bau (island)
Bau (pronounced [ˈmba.u]) is a small island in Fiji, off the east coast of the main island of Viti Levu. Bau rose to prominence in the mid-1800s and became Fiji's dominant power; until its cession to Britain, it has maintained its influence in politics and leadership right through to modern Fiji.
Territories and landmarks
Bau is the capital of the Kubuna Confederacy (Kubuna Tribe) and the chiefly centre of Tailevu Province. It is divided into three villages - Bau, Lasakau and Soso.
Among Bau’s landmarks are Fiji’s oldest Christian church and a stone on which the skulls of cannibalism victims were crushed.
Chiefly titles
Significant chiefly titles from Bau include the Vunivalu (considered to be Fiji’s premier chiefly title), and the Roko Tui Bau, currently held by Ratu Joni Madraiwiwi, the former Vice-President of Fiji.
The village of Lasekau who are inhabited by the clan Nabou (referred to as "Na Bai kei Bau") is ruled by the Komai Nadrukuta.
The village of Soso is occupied by the clan Rara, often referred to as the Rara o Soso and is headed by the Tunidau.

Le Bleu
by: BlondieLe bleu
(Chris Stein – Gilles Riberolles)
---speculated lyrics---
Amène-toi, Johnny !
Emmène-moi, Johnny !
Tous ces goûts de passé
Ces délices fanés, m’envahissent
Tu le sais !
Je suis un animal avec du bleu à l’âme
Je suis un animal avec du bleu à l’âme
Et nos cœurs face à face envoûtés
L’innocence recommence
Emmène-moi dans la danse, Johnny !
J’ai oublié mon cœur
Dans un aéroport
Est-ce que tu m’aimes encore ?
C’est toujours la même
Vieille rengaine
Mais moi, je t’aime
Je suis un animal avec du bleu à l’âme
Je suis un animal avec du bleu à l’âme
Est-ce que tu le sais, Johnny ?
Envie de toi
Amène-toi, Johnny !
Emmène-moi, Johnny !
Tous ces goûts de passé
Ces délices fanés, m’envahissent
Tu le sais
Je suis un animal avec du bleu à l’âme
Je suis un animal avec du bleu à l’âme
Et nos cœurs face à face envoûtés
L’innocence recommence
Emmène-moi dans la danse, Johnny !
J’ai du fard aux paupières
J’ai du rouge à lèvres
Mais j’ai le bleu en moi
Emmène-moi dans la danse, Johnny !
Je suis un animal avec du bleu à l’âme
Je suis un animal avec du bleu à l’âme
J’ai oublié mon coeur
Dans une gare ou un port
Est-ce que tu le sais, Johnny ?
