Nanga Kombu Kandri Makena
(Song of the Cold Mountain Village)
Verse 1
Beneath the shadow of Giluwe,
Where the winds of cold do blow,
Nanga Kombu Kandri Makena,
Home where the rivers flow.
Misty mornings, blankets of frost,
Chill in the air, we bear the cost,
Mountains high and skies so wide,
In our hearts, we hold our pride.
Chorus
Nanga Kombu, my village so dear,
Through the cold, we live without fear,
Hand in hand, we stand as one,
Under the cold, bright mountain sun.
Verse 2
Fields of green and gardens grow,
We work the land through rain and snow,
Singing songs by the fire's glow,
We share the love we always know.
In the nights, the stars shine clear,
Echoes of our ancestors near,
By the fire, stories unfold,
Of courage, strength, and hearts of gold.
Chorus
Nanga Kombu, my village so dear,
Through the cold, we live without fear,
Hand in hand, we stand as one,
Under the cold, bright mountain sun.
Bridge
Mount Giluwe, watch over us,
Through every trial, through every trust,
From the valley to the peaks so high,
Our spirits soar into the sky.
Chorus
Nanga Kombu, my village so dear,
Through the cold, we live without fear,
Hand in hand, we stand as one,
Under the cold, bright mountain sun.
