Sing, relax and let’s sing together.
Sing, relax and let’s sing together.

I’m happy you are with me.
I heard your call.
Let me hold your hand, watch my eyes.

Sing, relax and let’s sing together.
Sing, relax and let’s sing together.

I’m happy you are with me.
I heard your call.

By Afan grandma in Pangcah

iáyaw no melofudan mihecaán nisiayaw mineng to riyar
mahekelongkelong kami a mihafhaf to fali
na faluhan no niyan ko raay mikelidan no fuis
akatawalen ku liteng ita makero to kita

mala o-han nako a minengneng awasato maalaw
masaba kami a minengneng to 'icel ira
awa sato maalaw
ma kela to ko kaitilaán
tengi hanko honi no tapelik no riyar ato radiw fu--- sa---

Our ancestors stood here at the ocean
Together they faced the challenge of the ocean, facing the wind
Their eyes looking for the stars in the sky
We dance, we remember our ancestors

They sailed far away, further and further
We are impressed by their bravery
Now we know they did find land
The sound of the waves spread across the ocean fu—sa—
