Alternatively, "Isa Lei" is the Fijian version of a Tongan love song ("Ise Isa viola lose hina") used to court the then Princess Salote (later Queen Salote). It was written in 1915 and was heard by a visiting Fijian sergeant. From there, the Fijians adopted it to a farewell song, but they kept the Tongan melody.[4][5]

kzitem.info/news/bejne/sqmjmJt8sWR5pmU Written and composed by Tongan Noble Tuivakano. Sad thing is he wrote this beautiful song “Sii Lile Viola Lose Hina” which mainly older generation Tongans know and it’s true meaning. Whereas Fijian version and meaning “Isa Lei” is known world wide. Tuivakano didn’t get the well deserved praise he should of for his creation. The officer who took it did. Unfortunately Tuivakano was still alive when the song grew through the South Pacific, else where and heard he was not named as the author.

My dad named me after this song, even though he spelt it wrong (Eazalie). I'm in two minds about having my name changed to the correct spelling because Isa Lei is just such a beautiful name, I have a deep connection to it and one day would love to visit Fiji to experience the song in person. I imagine I would be in floods of tears.

Pls stop with history bcoz Ratu admitted himself when Tuivakano passed away that he is the true composer to the song ‘Sii lile viola losehina’ aka ‘Isa lei’
