U talem se mi man Lolowai Mi no kia se mi man blong koprah Mi stap ia mi fainem sam feren Mi stap ia long ‘Alberea Beronie’

Mi stap suet ol taem nomo No kat man i kam luk mi No kat man i kia long mi Mi stap tingting long tubui blong mi Ako u nomo u suit long mi.

You said I was a person from Lolowai I don’t give a damn if I’m only a plantation worker I make friends with people from all the islands I spend my time on the ‘Alberea Beronie’

I sweat every day for my sake Nobody comes to pay me a visit Nobody cares for me in any way I never let my mind wander from my beloved Who’s so dear to me.
