Pemung jae natelu tuyang alem

sa'o, sa'o sungai
limon, limon kanan
atek lan nelan nelu ina tuyang



We are sitting together tonight,
under the moonlight
This night, this night
Under the moonlight
My very good friend

Take care my friend,
whilst paddling downriver
Down river, down river
My very good friend


A quote by Lakei Tawan


Tana' itu' geh
Tana; ulo' be' nineh ulo' be' nineh
Be' inah tah jah, irah jah

And the land
The land belongs to us all, to us all.
Not just one alone, one alone.



“The knowledge and values in the songs are in more than the words. They are in the tempo and the melody. They are in the vibration.”
- Alena Murang
