Translation of "Feotnai Mapules" by Yohanes Manhitu in Dawanese/Uab Meto

Your hair is like silk, the beautiful thread
Your eyebrows are like flags in the sky
Your nose is like a fine golden needle
Your lips are like a ripe pomegranate
Your chin is like the soft tip of an egg
Your neck resembles a white marble pillar
Your chest appears like a beautiful range of hills
Your waist resembles a soft fine-wood guitar
Your legs and hands resemble silvery walking-sticks
Your body is as fragrant as Timorese sandalwood

Jogjakarta, 30 August 2003


The Dawanese version:

Feotnai Mapules

Nāko Yohanes Manhitu

Ho 'nakamnaufme lo onlź ab-sutra, abas amasat
Ho matamnaufme onlź penpene abit neno tnanan
Ho panme onlź anet amaėkit nāko noni mnatū
Ho lulumtunme onlź lilkase fź namnaut nalail
Ho 'suīme onlź maun tekō in tunan amaėkit
Ho neomme onlź ni mutī nāko faut marmer
Ho 'basme nātunā onlź bnoko akeitis amasat
Ho tnanme onlź bijol amaėkit nāko hau maüpā
Ho haem ma ho 'nimam onlź teas nāko noin mutī
Ho aomme nfomén onlź hau menī nāko Pah Timor.
