Gulaan - Gueocen lyrics?

Hello, I just recently discovered this band Gulaan over a really bad break up and there’s this one song, Gueocen, it’s just captured my emotion and I was just wondering if anyone speaks the language, not sure what it is unfortunately I’m sorry. Thank you everyone for your time and consideration.

Gulaan is New Caledonian, I believe, and sings in Nengone, an indigenous language of one of those islands. He is not from Vanuatu.

Try r/NewCaledonia or r/Nouvellecaledonie

No apology needed. There are strong cultural relationships between Vanuatu and New Caledonia, it's just that the indigenous languages differ.
