LIK LIK SAMTING

I wrote this in Melanesian Pidgin, or Tok Pisin, as the language is called. It is spoken all over the Pacific Islands.

 

Sapos mi painim planti mani

bai mi no hamamas moa yet

olsem taim yu tokim nem bilong mi

na tokim lik lik tasol long yiau bilong mi

 

Olsem mi no gat laik long traipela samtings

mi got laik moa yet long olgeta samting i kamap lik lik

you karim i kam long ples insait bilong mi

na dispela samting i wokim bigpela lait long olgeta dai.

 

Translation:

If I were a rich man

I would be no happier

than when you say my name

and whisper in my ear.

 

So, I care not for the big things

I prefer the small things

that you bring into my life

which light up every day.
