Toki Gong Sambil Menari, Haleluya by Christian Isaac Tamaela
Lyrics Translation
Bahasa Indonesia, Moluccan dialect (Bahasa Indonesia dialek Maluku)
Toki gong, sambil menari,
tiup suling, sambil menyanyi,
angkat syukur puji Tuhan, bergembira
halleluia
Beat the gong while dancing
play the flute while singing,
give thanks, praise the Lord joyously
Alleluia!
Roll your r, and remember to do schwa for "me" (as in murmur, Merlion) and "ber" (as in burr)
This song is a Christian folksong from Molucca (Maluku), one of the first part of Indonesia to be colonised by the Western powers. (Hence part of Molucca is mainly Christian)
