Verse 1)
In the land of the sun, where the mountains touch the sky
Our forefathers stood tall, with hearts that never died
Sir Michael Somare, a name etched in our past
A leader who guided us, to freedom at last
(Chorus)
Jubilee, jubilee, 50 years of pride
We celebrate our nation, with hearts full of joy inside
From Kokoda to Bougainville, our stories unfold
A nation born of struggle, with a spirit that never grows old
(Verse 2)
We remember the brave, who fought for our rights
The sacrifices they made, in the dark of night
Their legacy lives on, in our hearts and our minds
As we strive for progress, and a brighter future we find
(Chorus)
Jubilee, jubilee, 50 years of pride
We celebrate our nation, with hearts full of joy inside
From Kokoda to Bougainville, our stories unfold
A nation born of struggle, with a spirit that never grows old
(Bridge)
With unity and strength, we'll face the future's gate
Our diversity a treasure, our culture our fate
We'll honor our past, as we march forward in time
With hope and determination, our nation's spirit will shine
(Chorus)
Jubilee, jubilee, 50 years of pride
We celebrate our nation, with hearts full of joy inside
From Kokoda to Bougainville, our stories unfold
A nation born of struggle, with a spirit that never grows old
(Outro)
So let the kundu drums beat loud and clear
As we celebrate 50 years, of freedom dear
With Sir Michael Somare's legacy in our hearts
We'll strive for a brighter future, and never depart.
