Mipla igat traipla hevi,
Ol bus igat planti wari,
Lain gavaman inostap,
Na oli askim mipla antap,
Bilong wanem yupla noinap,
Long mekem ol samting kamap?
Orait, bai mipla mekim nupla lo,
I olsem bengbeng istap bipo,
No ken wari na singaut moa,
Watpo yupla paitim doa,
Lo opis bilo mi?
We’re certainly very anxious
The bush has so many problems
The government has no presence
And the people are asking us leaders
Whether we are up to it
Why we don’t make things happen
Sure we can make new laws
But a new law is just an illusion
Stop worrying and demanding more
Why are you knocking on the door
Of my office?
