Gadsup (Papua New Guinea)
Verse 1
Bokis bilong giaman pis na moning smok, Pisman i tromoi lain wantaim bilip, Wara i wokim liklik singsing, Han na bait i wok wantaim save. Pis i lusim lain i save bikpela, Taim de i go, stori i gro moa.
Verse 2
Long sait bilong wara, em i stap isi, Pasens em i namba wan wok, Pis man i mekim tok isi long bel— Pis i no tasol, em i kisim bel i malolo. Maski em i kisim wan o nating, Amamas i stap long san i kirap.

Verse 1:
With tackle box and morning mist, The angler casts his hopeful line, Each ripple hints at what's been kissed By skilled hands and bait design. The biggest catch that got away Grows larger with each passing day.
Verse 2:
In silence by the water's edge, Where patience is the greatest art, The fisherman makes his quiet pledge— It's peace that hooks the weary heart. Whether empty-handed or with prize, The joy lives in the sunrise skies.
