Yasobo Kura Baye - I​’​ll come with you

from UP FROM THE DEEP by Tunnel Number Five

/

about

The seafaring people of Biak island, just north of West Papua, navigated a wide expanse of sea by the stars. Born on Biak, Henk is the son of sea navigators, drummers and singers. He sings in the Biak language, now officially replaced by Bahasa Indonesia.

lyrics

Yasobo kura baye, eee. Inari yabar yawei nabo, yasobo kura baye.
Ayama samiyo we bawa besora bemambe
Sawi, Sorano, Paiki, Ori naiwano, naiwane

I’ll come with you, my brother, I will carry the paddle.
Remember what the elders taught us when we were children.
How to travel to Sawi in the west, to Sorano in the east.
To the moon and sun.
