Diru diru nina

Lyrics - Ansus

(Folk song from Yappen, an Island in Papua New Guinea)

Diru diru nina oa,
Sa wa pe di ru nina ninao
Amai Yenusi ruma be sinea,
Sawape diru nina ninao

This evening, just this evening,
the sun is setting, just this evening,
and the house of the brother-in-law, Yenusi,
will also come down

This refers to an Ansus festival where people dance on platforms on wooden poles.
