GITU’AN (STARS)
Written by Alena Murang and Joshua Maran

Ku’ ayu’ ba’o
Ibarat butiran manik
Like the beads
猶如一串串的珠子

Ku’ ayu’ padey
Ibarat benihan padi
Like the padi
猶如一片片的稻田

Tauh pupuh luun merar ma’on
Semangat moyang di dalam kita
We are our ancestors
我們是祖先的後裔

Tauh nih let luun langit
Kita adalah warga langit
We are people of the sky
我們是天空的孩子

Edto libuh kuh ra’ong
Ukiran Matahari, seakan topi sawah padi
The sun, round as a sun hat
圓圓的太陽像頂帽子

Edto nuk mey nadur peped langit lungung
Membingkai di hujung awan mendung
Skirting the edge of the cloudy sky
穿梭在團團的雲朵裡

Nadur peped langap langit temubong
Kembara lintasi jalur bulatan matahari ke arah syurga yg terbentang megah
Journeying through the circumference of the vast heavens
漫遊遼闊的天空 穿越無際的天堂
