Song: Ekkeriafoun Kapasen Inisi

Ekkeriafoun kapasen inisi mei usun kapasen en pwunopwun[1]
The suffering story of my life is like the story of the pwunopwun (plant)

Manaw me nukun nge pwas me neutun
A ina usun kapasen inisi.
Alive on the outside but dry and dead within
That is how my body is

Nupwen ai kon non kieki, ngaseta non riafou
When I lay in bed, breathing in desperation

Noneinen kechiw mi nomw non netipei
Pwun mano mi kan arap ngeni ei
Worry and tears in my heart because I am near death

Use chuen tawe ngeni ai riafou pwun uwa kan kotur me netipomw
I can't take my suffering anymore because I've been cast out from your heart

Ngang usapw fangeta upwe chok fangono
Manawei fanitomw mwa en nemin
I won't give up I will give away my life for you girl.

Iei chok masowen fonufan riafou o pwapwa chok
This is how life is, to be happy even though you're suffering.

Ewe tong ese mwuch mi nomw non netipei mi usun ewe tong me won inei
The real unending love which is in my heart is just like my mother's love for me.

1. Pwunopwun (xylocarpus granatum):  A type of tree that's known to be hollow and dry in the inside.
