Papua New Guinea
A Nation of thousand tribes
A nation of nations
United Papua New Guinea
In Unity, a nation is built
With trust, late Sir Grand Chief was entrusted
To take this land from Colonizers
And name it the Beloved Papua New Guinea
So these children can call it the home
Even in his absence, He is watching its children dancing,
Singing Nation’s Anthem with PASSION, DIGNITY and PRIDE
“We are Papua New Guinea!”
“We are Independent and We Are Free!”
Let the voice of thousands tribes be heard
Singing songs, dancing and celebrating
As we miss the dear voice of Sana on this golden day for the first time
He is listening!
As we chuntering in melody
Thanking God and His eminence wisdom He gave to
Our Founding Fathers
From the highland to the lowlands
Let the voice of oneness be heard
And to the coastal and islands
In solidarity we are one nation, one country, one people
One more time again
We are growing older, wiser and stronger
In Nationhood
Come ye the Kumul
Let it fly higher, higher than it was
Higher above the Mountain tops
Show to the nations, we are one people, one country
And shout to the world,
We are Papua New Guinea!
Happy 46th Birthday Papua New Guinea!
Ples Singsing is envisioned to be a new platform for Papua Niuginian expressions of creativity, ingenuity and originality in art and culture. We deliberately highlight these two very broad themes as they can encompass the diverse subjects, from technology, medicine and architecture to linguistics, music, fishing, gardening et cetera. Papua Niuginian ways of thinking, living, believing, communicating, dying and so on can cover the gamut of academic, journalistic or opinionated writing and we believe that unless we give ourselves a platform to talk about and discuss these things in an open, free and non-exclusively academic space that they may remain the fodder for academics, journalists and other types of writers alone. New social media platforms have given every individual a personal space to share their feelings and ideas openly, sometimes without immediate censure. The Ples Singsing writer’s blog would like to provide another more structured platform for Papua Niuginian expressions in written, visual and audio formats while also providing some regulation of the type and content of materials to be shared publicly.
