Lyrics
Description
[Intro]
Sunrise on the cane — salt on the wind
Skank guitar up — one-drop drum begin
(Arrangement: skanking guitar on the upbeats, warm organ fills, light horn stabs)
[Verse 1]
Bure smoke and netted light, stories stitched in thread
Coconut groves whisper, children chase the red
Suva harbour yawns — boats tied to old ropes slow
Cyclone left its marks, but the vanua keeps to grow
[Chorus 1]
Fiji rise — vanua strong
Reggae lifts — carries on
From cane fields to Suva shores
Hands join up — we move on
[Verse 2 — First Person: Fisher/Farmer]
I pull the net at dawn, salt still on my skin
My hands know the reef, my father taught me to begin
I till the cassava, mud under my nail
At night we pass the yaqona bowl — stories in its sail
[Chorus 2]
Fiji rise — vanua strong
Reggae lifts — carries on
We rebuild the wharf at dawn
Hands join up — we move on
[Bridge]
After the storm the pier lay broken, open to the sea
I hammer plank by plank — nail the promise of we
Elders hum the prayer, kava smoke in the round
Vanua in our breath — new boards on old ground
(Arrangement: drop to bass + organ for 4 bars, call-and-response, then lift with horns)
[Verse 3]
Cane smoke in dusk markets, lanterns line the road
Women bake cassava, boys run with a load
We plant tomorrow where the old roots lie deep
Teach the children the land’s name — vanua to keep
[Chorus 3 — Final]
Fiji rise — vanua strong
Reggae lifts — carries on
For children dancing on these shores
Hands join up — legacy grows on
[Outro / Tag]
Call: "Vanua strong!" Response: "We rise!"
Kava circle hum: "Bula" — voices roll like tide
Let the horns blow, let the skank keep time
Reggae holds the work — and up the vanua climbs
(Arrangement cue: horns swell, skank guitar, end on warm organ pad)
[Performance Notes]
- Groove: one-drop drum feel with skanking guitar on the off-beat
- Production: warm organ fills, light horn stabs for punch, room for a call-and-response tag
- Leave space for a kava circle chant after the bridge and a two-bar drum break before final chorus
