“Malesso’, Our Southern Pride”
Verse 1
Down in the south where the mountains meet the sea,
Malesso’ wakes up slow, calm, and free.
Fishermen heading out before the sunrise glow,
Kids running barefoot where the trade winds blow.
Every road remembers stories from before,
Every wave whispers “This is home forevermore.”
Pre‑Chorus
From the pier to the hills, life moves with grace,
Malesso’ pride lives in every face.
Generations strong, standing side by side,
This village carries a southern stride.
Chorus
Malesso’, our home, our southern pride,
Where the ocean sings and the mountains rise.
From Cocos Island to the village shore,
Malesso’ lives in our hearts forevermore.
Malesso’, Malesso’ — island strong, island wide,
This is our home, our southern pride.
Verse 2
Families gather where the coconut trees sway,
Elders telling stories of the old village way.
Kids at the fiesta dancing under the lights,
Laughter echoing through the warm island nights.
Route 4 shining as the sun goes down,
Malesso’ glows like a southern crown.
Bridge
And when storms roll in from the deep blue sea,
Malesso’ stands firm with unity.
Hand in hand, we rise again,
’Cause this village is more than where we’ve been —
It’s who we are, it’s how we live,
It’s the love we share and the strength we give.
Final Chorus
Malesso’, our home, our southern pride,
Where the ocean sings and the mountains rise.
From Cocos Island to the village shore,
Malesso’ lives in our hearts forevermore.
Malesso’, Malesso’ — island strong, island wide,
This is our home, our southern pride.
