Madang

INTRO (Spoken, female voice)

(Slightly echoing and sorrowful)

Lukim mi ya. Lukim mi ya.

Lewa, mi sori.

VERSE 1

(Guitar melody, soft bassline)

The essence of me, you come and go

Your mystery, I can't grasp anymore

I linger here, anxious for you always

I lament the time, I lament myself in this pain.

As time passes, and the moon moves on

My worry, it grows too strong.

CHORUS

(Tempo picks up slightly, harmonies enter)

Oh, Talaigu, of Madang Lewa

Heart is heavy, I'm sorry for you still, oh Lewa.

You come and you go, (I'm sorry)

You come and you go, (I'm sorry)

This worry weighs me down.

VERSE 2

You come and you go, like the wind that blows

What force pulls you out the door?

I know the work, and I know the pain

But no one can finish what one man starts.

In this place, Madang our home

My thoughts, they still long for you, true.

CHORUS

(Stronger beat)

Oh, Talaigu, of Madang Lewa

Heart is heavy, I'm sorry for you still, oh Lewa.

You come and you go, (I'm sorry)

You come and you go, (I'm sorry)

This worry weighs me down.

BRIDGE

(Music softens, a lone ukulele strums)

I'm sorry for this behavior,

For these thoughts,

For this abandonment.

I'm sorry for everything.

Lukim mi ya...

OUTRO (Spoken & Fading)

(Male voice whispers)

Talaigu...

(Female voice)

Lewa, I'm sorry.

(Music fades out with guitar reverb)
