Ohin Loron Ita-nian
Loron tuan troka ho loron foun.
Dala ruma ita la duun hatene
katak ita la'o dook tiha ona,
husik hela loron neeb� ita tanis,
husik hela oras neeb� ita hamnasa
iha ita-nia inan doben nia liman laran,

Ohin loron ita tenke semo mesa-mesak,

Maib� keta ta'uk, Maromak sei fo ksolok nafatin
tanb� Nia rasik fo tiha ona Ninia Liafuan Lulik.
Oras nee mak ita-nia biban, ita-nia tempu,
tempu atu hatudu an ba mundu tomak;
tempu atu pinta i hafurak moris naruk.

Esperansa
Hori uluk, hori wa�in
Rai Timor, rai morin
Malae mutin buka soin
Halo ema lakon fatin
Halo maun haluha alin
Halo laran la bele metin
Loron ikus, loron di�ak
Mai buka deit moris furak
Nomos maun-alin barak!
La di�ak se moris mesak
Se Nai Maromak hakarak
Loron-aban sei sai murak.

Hope
Since the very old days
Timor is a fragrant island
The whites were looking for wealth
They make people lose their place
Make brothers forget each other
Make hearts have no peace
The future, the good days
Let�s find only beautiful life
And many brothers and sisters
It is not good to live alone.
If God want
Tomorrow will be golden.

Tulun ha�u hatudu domin lalehan.
Domin neeb� mau hau fo deit ba o.

Rosa is your name
You come into my soul
And then live in my mind
Your name is a secret flower
I love you with my whole heart
Tonight I have a big dream
Coming in my long night
But I wish more than a dream.
I want you to sit beside me.
Rosa, why do you still doubt me?
Why do not you know that I am crazy
Seeking a way to kiss your soul?
You throw away my world of dreams.
Rosa, my secret flower of heaven.
God has sent you to help me
Show the love of heaven.
The love that I will give to nobody but you.

Loron Ita Hasoru Malu

Klamar rua kanta haksolok

Hamnasa hamutuk, ita hotu gosta
Haluha fulan mak tun, ita hatene
Kaer liman ho domin, ita hadomi.

Ita tenke loke neon no klamar
Sei ita hakarak hamutuk nafatin.

Atu haluha ita-nia ta�uk no moe:
Buat la iha folin mak taka dalan.

Hau hakarak rona ita-nia resposta
Amor, hat�n lai hau nia lia-husu.

Day When We Meet
You run to me with suprising face
I meet you with my shining eyes
We are soon together, laughing
Telling beautiful stories from the mind
It is the day we both are waiting for
It is the night we two desire
Two souls singing together in happiness
Two bodies sitting and watching the moon.
The old days approach the ears
Laughing together, we all desire
Ignoring the falling moon, we both know
Holding hands with love, we both like
Now, sadness has faded away from our hearts
A path is open for us to show that we love
We both must open the mind and soul
If we wish to be in togetherness till the end.
Now, the beautiful moments have come to us
To forget both fear and shame:
Meaningless things closing our path.
My love, will we still meet a secret love?
It is true, tonight we are in togetherness
When I have returned from the overseas
I wish to hear the anwer you will give.
Darling, would you please answer me?

Loron ba loron nia la�o

Kalan ba kalan nia moras
Hanoin fitun iha rai-balun.
Fulan ba fulan nia serbisu

Tinan tolu nee atu lakon
Oras to�o tiha ona atu kaer liman
�Adeus� liafuan be besik ba tilun.

Wanderer
Day to day he walks
Night to night he deams
Leaving his place of birth
Abondoning native stars
Day to day he lives
Night to night he gets sick
Thinking of oversea stars
Month to month he works
Year to year he prays
Beseeching the blessings of God
Three years are about to pass
Three yeas are about to disappear
The time has come for holding hands
�Good bye� is close to the ears.

An Afternoon in Lifau
This afternoon I come to Lifau
I sit alone at the most famous monument of Timor
But this time I don�t see you sitting beside me anymore
This time you have clung to another man
who has a motorcycle and plenty of money
You left me alone with my pure and most secret love
I know you think that wealth is worth more than my love
I see the sun is about to shink
His eye resembles to a giant golden plate
It shines a bit and then disappears in the sea water
Just like you, disappear from my life
I look up to the sky
There, I see a pair of white birds
flying together happily looking for a place to pass the night
This time I remember the old times
when we were still together, loved each other and laughed
Now I know it�s but a memory
The memory that I revive at this beach
when the cold night is about to come
I stand up and want to go away form this monument
The place where we met at the very first time
and where we showed our love
I want to go away
Leaving this place
Leaving this memory
I want to seek a new life
This afternoon Lifau and its old monument
are the witnesses of my secret promise
A promise that will bring me to another world and another person, too
There and with her there will be love, respect, and fidelity

Moris

Hau buka moris mak mai hosi lalehan.

Tanba hau gosta liu-liu moris iha hau-nia mundu rasik .

Oh, hau nia alin mane mak hau hadomi tebe-tebes.
Moris nee la'�s atu halo deit buat rua nee.
Moris nee katak atu hadomi Nai Maromak;
Moris nee katak atu fo domin ba malu;
Moris nee katak atu serbisu no fiar maluk;
Moris nee katak atu fo dame ba mundu tomak;
Moris nee la'�s atu han no toba deit.

Life
What are you in search of in the world?
I am in search of the life coming from heave.
Why don�t you go the world of the deaths?
Because I love living in my own world much more.
What do you know about life?
Life means to eat and sleep.
Oh, my most lovely little brother.
Life is not for doing those two things only.
Life means to love God;
Life means to love one another;
Life means to work and trust one another;
Life means to bring peace to the whole world.
Life doesn�t mean to eat and sleep only.
