The Currents of the Sulu Sea

Sandakan bay by the legendary sea
The sea of the living currents
The sailors maritime space
Balhala Island buffed the guns
The guns from the European hands

Elopura set up in its front
Anchored the wooden boat of sailors
By the stars guided them aboard
The sailors are the traders
The navies, armies and the sea rovers

Cannons set up at the Pryers Fort
The natives were here they fought
The warriors sailed to cross
Saving the lines of hope
For the honor and pride they uphold

The homeland of high seas
No boundaries are set
No one are immigrants
Never are called illegals
But the colonizers built corrals.



I love you peace. Let's sail together. Layag Sug!
