Beach fale
A beach fale is a simple thatched hut in Samoa. Beach fales are also common in other parts of Polynesia. They have become popular in tourism as a low budget accommodation situated by the coast, built with a few posts, no walls and a thatched roof with a round or oval shape.
The word fale (pronounced fah-leh) is the Samoan word for any type of building. A similar word is used in other Polynesian languages, similar to whare in the Maori language.
In Samoan architecture, these simple huts are called faleo'o in the Samoan language. They are common in villages where they provide extra storage or space for dragon boats.
As the term denotes, beach fale are usually located around the coast in villages. In Samoa, renting out a beach fale to visitors is a common means for providing extra income for families.

Car Je T'aime
by: Pich Paul( Pich )
Les journes sont passes
Dont t'avais besoin pour savoir
Le temps s'est coul
T'arrives m'oublier
Pour moi c'est un abme noir
Tu n'changeras plus d'ide
Et j'essaie d'viter
La tentation de ne pas y croire
Mon coeur est effleur
Il me reste un infime espoir
J'espre que tu t'es trompe
Et que tout a te fait mal
J'l'espre mais j'en suis bris
Car je t'aime, je t'aime vraiment
Tu prvoyais la fin
D'un film que t'avais dessin
O j'tais comdien
O l'amour tait maquill
O l'amour tait loin
Je sais que tu t'es trompe
Je sais que a me fait mal
Je sais que je t'attendrai
Car je t'aime, je t'aime vraiment
Nos coeurs taient suspendus
Tout a dboul
L'amour a perdu
Mais j'aurais jamais cru
Je n'aurais jamais d
Pourtant
Les journes sont passes
Et j'essaie d'viter mais
Je sais que tu t'es trompe
Je sais que a nous fait mal
Je sais tout ce que je sais
