  1. wave
    • 2023, Humphrey Koulen (lyrics and music), “Na So Mi Wan Fu Syi Kresneti”, performed by Tarnaz Amarello:
      A liba e dansi nanga den skwala fu a libi / siksiyuru e bari, den wiwiri e dansi / Prisiri ala pe, yu kan yere a grontapu singi a harmoni
      The river is dancing with the waves of life / the cicadas are resounding, the leaves are dancing / Rejoicing everywhere, you can hear the earth singing the harmony
