Tabi Gawai ngan muyuh ngabi. Rice is sacred to us. The greatest ancestor of the Kelabit people, Aruring Menepo Boong, is the representation of a woman of highest spiritual power, obtained through the knowledge of rice planting and harvesting, and serving the rice to the village and guests. My Kelabit name was inherited from my grandmother, "Lipang", meaning "rice husk". My music video "Re Lekuah" is largely about the hardships of planting and harvesting rice.

This Gawai/ harvest season, don't forget to think of our ancestors who worked the land by the cycles of the moon, to give us the best rice there is. Drink lots of tuak (rice wine), dance to the morning (and don't drive). My heart is with you Borneo! Selamat Hari Gawai!

"Re Lekuah" is the first music video in the Kelabit language.

GITU’AN (STARS)
Written by Alena Murang and Joshua Maran

Ku’ ayu’ ba’o
Ibarat butiran manik
Like the beads
猶如一串串的珠子

Ku’ ayu’ padey
Ibarat benihan padi
Like the padi
猶如一片片的稻田

Tauh pupuh luun merar ma’on
Semangat moyang di dalam kita
We are our ancestors
我們是祖先的後裔

Tauh nih let luun langit
Kita adalah warga langit
We are people of the sky
我們是天空的孩子

Edto libuh kuh ra’ong
Ukiran Matahari, seakan topi sawah padi
The sun, round as a sun hat
圓圓的太陽像頂帽子

Edto nuk mey nadur peped langit lungung
Membingkai di hujung awan mendung
Skirting the edge of the cloudy sky
穿梭在團團的雲朵裡

Nadur peped langap langit temubong
Kembara lintasi jalur bulatan matahari ke arah syurga yg terbentang megah
Journeying through the circumference of the vast heavens
漫遊遼闊的天空 穿越無際的天堂

Every story is born of a place and of a people. To keep a story alive means to acknowledge the life of the place and people. The Kelabit people have a tradition of telling stories through song, the storyteller sitting for nights on the floor of the raised longhouse, singing an epic.

The last two generations have lived through rapid transitions: from practising headhunting, ceremonial tattooing and animal sacrifices, to embracing Christianity in the 1930s; from having zero electricity to 24-hour solar-powered energy. Parallel to this was the introduction of formal schooling, money and deforestation. Whilst the storytelling traditions could not carry speed with the vast changes, one thing remained constant for the Kelabit: hard work.

Re Lekuah is an old song rich with figurative meanings, many of which are lost and open to speculation. Literally though, the song gives insight to the hard work that young women had to do in the village, and perhaps a desire and longing for something more. Placed in an urban, contemporary setting, life isn’t much different.

Customarily, an elder would transmit the oral tradition to her children and grandchildren, but Alena’s grandmother didn’t live long enough to pass on her stories. Alena learnt this song from Tepu’ Do’o Ayu, asking her blessing to rearrange and to share the song outside the community - whatever it takes to make people listen, is the reply.

Re Lekuah, the music video, presents dualities: drawing parallels and contrasts across time (old versus young; past versus present) and space (rural versus urban).
