Samoan to English translation?

I recently came across a letter written by my sister-in-law, who has sadly passed away. I was wondering if anyone could help me translate it from Samoan to English. The letter reads:

Sau loa oe
E nofo mai
Ou tafatafa
O le Amataga o si Ta mafutaga
O le lumanai
O lo’o sauina mai
Mo tatou Uma e vaai
Mo nai ou uso
Sei faamagalo mai
Mo sou sese na fai
Faamolemole
Faagalo ita

Thank you so much in advance for your help!

La’u Samoa

Talofa Samoa Lo’u atunuu pele le agaga

Ae sei o’u pesepese atu ma fa’amatala

Lou matagofie le mafaia upu ga fa’amatala

Ua numera tasi fo’i oe i le Pasifika

CHORUS:

La’u Samoa E La’u Samoa E

Fa’amuamua le Atua o ia o lo’u fa’avaevae

A o mai i ni puapuaga

Fa’amalosi tu mau pea

Ou te alofa ia te oe La’u Samoa

VERSE 2

Le mafai ona galo lo’u nu’u sa ou fanau ai

O la’u fanua lanu lau ‘ava ou te tiu ai

E ui ina ou malaga i fafo i atu nu’u ese

E le mafai ona ou galo oe Samoa lau pele

(Repeat Chorus x2)

La’u Samoa

Roughly translated it means

You come right away

and stay

at my side

the

beginning of

our relationship

the future

is coming now

for all of us to see

for these my sisters/brothers

please forgive me

for my mistakes I have made

please

forgive me.

I tried to translate each line how you have it written. Samoan is not my native language so a native speaker could translate it better but that is my best shot.
