    This song is a real lullaby to me

    Bula vinaka Dromodromo
    I love this song…heard it sung by a trio at a hotel in Suva. Very moving.
    Would love to know the English translation; I understand it’s about a Fijian soldier on duty overseas – missing his homeland?
    Would love to have those words to understand the song better.

      A rough translation here:

      I left home to travel far to serve in the British Army

      Chrs
      The relationship was truly fun that tiredness starts to fade

      I came back in August 2009 due to an injury that overwhelmed me

      Chrs 2
      That’s when I met you my love, through the prettiness of your conduct

      Started in Noumea and you transferred to Suva Grammar School
      You continued your tertiary education at the University of the South Pacific

      Chrs 3
      Truly glorious it really hurts me
      I long to hold you girl, sweet face

      Brightness of your colours
      Rising moon in the evening
      Your eyes, painful as I look on

      Chrs 4
      Oh I’m in love, I’m broken
      Full of my love for you, yellow
