(Verse 1)
Sun’s up, streets alive, Waigani wakes with the beat,
From Vision City lights to the market’s heat,
Got the smell of BBQ, traffic slow but sweet,
Mangi Waigani, life here can’t be beat.
(Pre-Chorus)
From Gordons to Gerehu, I know every lane,
Raun na tok, olgeta save long mi name,
City boy style, but my roots run deep,
POM’s in my blood, that’s the life I keep.
(Chorus)
I’m Mangi Waigani, Pom City born,
Under tropical skies where dreams are worn,
From Koki’s shoreline to Ela’s glow,
This is my home, it’s the place I know.
(Verse 2)
Night falls, betelnut smiles, moon over Konedobu,
Blasi tok, music loud, long haus win we through,
Life’s not easy, but we stand tall true,
Mangi Waigani, nothing I can’t do.
(Bridge)
Palm trees sway, the PMV’s roll,
Tok Pisin, Motu, heart and soul,
Every street tells a story bold,
Pom City life is pure gold.
(Chorus)
I’m Mangi Waigani, Pom City born,
Under tropical skies where dreams are worn,
From Koki’s shoreline to Ela’s glow,
This is my home, it’s the place I know.
(Outro)
So when you hear the drums and the laughter rise,
Look to the city with island skies,
Mangi Waigani, strong and free,
POM City forever, that’s me.
