Ranpono has begun! Laborers, let’s put our Hands TogetHer, Let’s join TogetHer, The work has begun! Little by little, the bird makes its nest. My brotHers, my sisters, Join TogetHer, let’s move forward! Heads TogetHer, in harmony, We will come To see the navel of an ant. With perseverance, we will see the navel of an ant. The load that you bear on your head falls on your shoulders. Little by little, the bird makes its nets. [ Yele maoulo! ] Wasting time is not part of the game. We must work Today To harvest Tomorrow.

This SAATTBB arrangement may be performed by 3 men and 3 women's voices in a variety of settings- from voices only (with small adaptation for the musical breaks- instrumental parts may be represented by vocal treatment) To vocals with drums, vocals with piano, and on up To full orchestration. Perfect as a concert opener or finale, the energy generated from this piece makes it a versatile inclusion in standard reperToire for choirs who want To be challenged musically but have a lot of fun in the process.
