I had a girlfriend from Samarai schooling at John Wesley high school, way back in the 1970. Name Judith Elekana. I like the melodious sound and song. I am from New Ireland. ❤
Now listening to this song again in 2023.. We have parted in different ways, to other units in the PNGDF and SSD(Police)I can only imagine, we were young soldiers and policemen back then.. Crazy young days during the crisis.. Love to my brothers out there in green & blue, Sore tsl the pain we endured those times na dspla kaen ol music sa cool I'm pen stret 😂😂
From Manus,but there is something special about this song... listening and watching the clip and I am reflecting the isolated islands way of life, the struggles to and fro just to come to provincial centres just to do some simple shopping and wait for a transport to return back home.. maybe it can take 1 week or 2.
I'm from ENB but I had brothers in arms from Samatex we served together during the Bougainville crisis back in the 90s.Ms 03 back then from HMG, Mtt Hgn and Charlie 1(Taurama).My brothers will play this beautiful song in their language. I don't know the lyrics but the melody. Mpla sa salim fax stret. Cool string band music 👍👮🇵🇬
Another Manus here. Listening to this song makes me wanna cry... we cross the sea from our humble village to town and back just to do shopping. Such life is real for Islander! ❤
I am married to Milne Bay. Came past this song title on Facebook and decided to have a listen to it on RUclips and wow!!! 🥺💯🔥 gave me goosebumps.. too good these oldies .. thank you for sharing..
The song is about a guy who was raised by a single mother. He left his village to travel afar, and while he was away, his mother passed away. When he returned, he found his mother's house empty. Standing on the road leading to the house, he reminisced about who would call him now that he is an orphan. 😢
Thank you so much for translating lyrics of this favorite of mine. Such is the wonder and beauty of Milne Bay songs and artists singing about nature , about love & beauty expressing this in a unique way and in Milne style of music. ❤❤.
Listen to this song brings me the memory back to 1994 and I traveled by sea to Dobu Island in Milne bay escaping the volcanic eruption in ENB Province. Dobu is my mom's sweet island home. I usually follow my uncles and they sing while we paddle home on canoes. But now after 30 plus years am away from living in the WHP Mount Hagen. I still miss my mom's home. Thanks for the wonderful music.
My primary school teachers were from Samarai and Trobs in the 1980s at Hoyabia Community School, Tari, Hela province. They played these songs in their homes we would listened to them. I feel for them now.
I was local boy recruited from my home island in 1990 to serve my country ...listening from Bougainville with this string band songs takes me back home...
My father (late) is an avid NBC radio listener. Every 5pm to 6pm before NBC News is string band segment. This is one of the many string band musics that occupies the hour on NBC Wewak Neck Biloong Sepik. As a young boy growing up in mid 90s I am very much fond of these musics because string bands are my Papa's favourite. Listening to this masterpiece here reminds me of the years growing up under my parents care. 😢I missed my Papa & Mama rest high you both ❤
Back growing up in the early 90's I use to hear this song being played by my dad on his 8 battery cassette player radio. As a kid I love listening to it when played. I can recall the fond memories of my childhood. Nowadays I can't hear such raw music anymore. Golden oldies are still best. PNG 🇵🇬 string bands. 🎵❤💪👍💯
Very meaningful lyrics, about thinking back home and reflecting what my mum is doing back home and feeling sad at the same time, why did i leave home and came this far. My thoughts are only of home and how homesick i am
I went home and saw that mum was not there to welcome me home. Although, I am an Apo man, I feel that this song from Milne Bay described by recent experience and feeling at home. Mama was not there to welcome me home as usual.
Returning from my home province Manus and listening to this song is sad thinking people back home. Sharing the thoughts and hardship the people faced in the village.
Thank God for all different styles n cultures,Milnebay beautiful sung,left home in the rugged mountains of Finschhaffen n called Milnebay home,nice people,the song is sung nicely n in Suau,,never get tired listening,,Eastern tip of PNG..bring back good old memories..kapole Alotau,Samlaii...
The song reminds me of my life ❤❤💔💔💔 growing up in the early 1980 travelling out of my own comfort island 🏝️ of Ferguson island for the first to Alotau to attend school at Hagita
Those oldies i have been in MBP Alotau Studing Diploma in Nursing and heard those course mates played those melodies and i thought of my place Jiwaka. Now iam working and still playing these music and recall of my days in Alotau back 2012 to 2014.
listening to this music brings back memories of young days at Bomana Police College and to Boroko Police Station. Remembering my colleague Gilbert Abore, Jerry Mcdale and Daniel Matalogi. ,,😭😭
Ewa that 1 how? Listening to the song now brings back the memories of the past. Imagine getting on the boat and sitting at the deck with your gf, the first love of your heart, while enjoying the view of the sun set from the west. Emotional fact isn't it??? Kayoni kapole Samatex...
This beautiful classical song brought back tears to my eyes❤😊 . Thinking back to those golden days in PNG when the country was poised for greatness when we were united. ❤🙏👊👍👏
The very reason the songs hits differently for us 28s living away from home is the intro lyrics.. life takes us away from home for various readons, but home still tugs at the corners of our hearts .. kapole
A fan of Milnebay local string band. The unic sound of string giter melody and the harmonious sounds from the local dialac coming straight from the heart, makes Milnebay string band so uniquely different. Am still a fan to this day. Go.. Aiyo ni.
Thank you focks out there with this more touching band, reminding old days and tone of carrying to tears land. Gods' gift is in what you can be good at it in one thing. Very keeping music, thanks alot.
