traditional song

secure peace
Secure peace my birthplace
In a land called Toraja
in  a land of Sulawesi

From the valleys, the hills up to the mountain
Laid out fields and a cool garden
Rivers flowed  Sa'dan

Our entire land of the Toraja
Wherever we were headed
Hard and anguish we face

It will not dampen our spirit
Because it is the burden of our lives

To achieve the perfection of our lives
