Gela (Solomon Islands)
Verse 1
Na bokisi na nete ni matangi, Fisi-man kake laeni wetem hop, Wata kake talem stori isi, Long han save na bait gud. Fisi we lusim laeni kamap big, Evri dei stori hem gro moa.
Verse 2
Long saed blo wata, evri samting kwaet, Patient hem gudfala art, Fisi-man mekem promise kwaet— Hem pis we kasem hat we taed. Sapos hem karem fisi o nating, Hapi laef stap long san we raes.

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.
