Lyrics
[Intro] Oh, islands of blue so serene, where the ocean meets the dream, Palau whispers tales untold, in the emerald green we'll roam. [Verse 1] Set sail upon the Western seas, where the Pacific breezes free, A journey to Palau, islands of enchantment, you'll see. Coral reefs bright as the sunrise, beneath the azure skies, A paradise where tradition and nature harmonize. [Pre-Chorus] From Koror to the Rock Islands, let the spirit take its flight, Through ancient stories and histories, bathed in golden light. [Chorus] Oh Palau, oh Palau, cradle of the sea, With your people and your legends, dancing wild and free. Oh Palau, oh Palau, islands true and bright, In your waters and your skies, we find peace and light. [Verse 2] In the heart of Micronesia, where the waves kiss the shore, A nation built on sharing, where old spirits still soar. From the days of Ngerulmud, the capital with pride, A legacy of strength and beauty they cannot hide. [Chorus] Oh Palau, oh Palau, cradle of the sea, With your people and your legends, dancing wild and free. Oh Palau, oh Palau, islands true and bright, In your waters and your skies, we find peace and light. [Bridge] Remember the voices of the past, echoing across the land, The chants of warriors, the songs of peace, a living, guiding hand. Fish in the waters, taro in the fields, the harmonious dance of life, Where unity and wisdom conquer every strife. [Final Chorus] Oh Palau, oh Palau, cradle of the sea, With your people and your legends, dancing wild and free. Oh Palau, oh Palau, islands true and bright, In your waters and your skies, we find peace and light. [Outro] So let us cherish the blessings, of this island paradise, In Palau's gentle embrace, where the heart and spirit rise.
