Black gold and copper,
Cendrawasih and koteka
Had lost somewhere,
or deprived by someone ?

Please, return everything from this land.
Return the sound of jungle
nor the sound of gurgling river.
Please hear our voices, in the thick of forest.
Please hear our voices, that's been long time hidden.

Cendrawasih cried,
Our tradition gone.
Rivers polluted
Our jungle moan

Papua is crying
Cendrawasih is beautiful bird from papua, that also known as heavenly bird.
Koteka is tradional clothes from papua.
There are many visitors visit to papua, but they only want to destroy or should I say 'exploit' the land without think the effect. Ironic, vilagers are excluded by stranger.
