A Glimpse of Papua
This slide show will perhaps give you a Glimpse of Papua. The lyrics of the accompanying song, “Aku Papua” by Edo Kondologi, are to the right along with its translation from Indonesian. I’ve heard hundreds of Papuans join together to sing this song together. |
Aku Papua
Tanah Papua tanah yang kaya surga kecil jatuh ke bumi Seluas tanah sebanyak madu adalah harta harapan Tanah papua tanah leluhur Disana aku lahir Bersama angin bersama daun Aku di besarkan Chorus: Hitam kulit keriting rambut – aku papua Hitam kulit keriting rambut – aku papua Biar nanti langit terbelah – aku papua |
I am Papua
The land of Papua is a rich land A piece of heaven fallen to earth. A land covered in much honey that is a treasure of hope. The land of Papua, ancestral land There I was born. With the wind, with the leaf, There I grew up. Chorus: Black skin, curly hair – I am Papua Black skin, curly hair – I am Papua. Even if the sky splits – I am Papua. |
