Timor island, beautiful island.
Your name is as fragrant as sandalwood granting fragrance to the island. Your name is called from generation to generation, from the village to the town; from the mountain to the seashore Who does not know your name? When the sun rises, you are as bright as silver; and when the sun sets, you are as shiny as gold. Men from the east, from the west, from the north, and the south know who you are. Timor island, you are the mother of your descendents. Pray so that they go from one country to another and then come home to praise your name! Oh……Timor island, the island of beauty, the island of fragrance. Jogjakarta, 4 October 2002 The Dawanese version: Pah Timor Nâko Yohanes Manhitu Pah Timor, pah amasat. Ho kanme lo nfomén Onlê hau menî afomenib pah. Ho kanme matekâ Nâko batan a-ntea batan, Nâko kuan talantea kota, Nâko 'nuüf talantea tasi ninen. Sekau es ka nahin fa ho kanam?
