The anthem was composed by the Dutchmissionary Rev. Izaak Samuel Kijne during the 1930s.
After the Dutch-supervised election of a regional parliament, the New Guinea Council (Dutch: Nieuw Guinea Raad), a group was formed on 19 October 1961 to elect a national committee. The committee drafted a manifesto for independence and self-government, a national flag (the Morning Star Flag), state seal, selected "Hai Tanahku Papua" as a national anthem, and called for the people to be known as Papuans. The New Guinea Council voted unanimously in favour of these proposals on 30 October 1961, and on 31 October 1961 presented the Morning Star flag and manifesto to Governor-General Pieter Johannes Platteel. The Dutch recognized the flag and anthem on 18 November 1961 (Government Gazettes of Dutch New Guinea No. 68 & 69), and these ordinances came into effect on 1 December 1961. The anthem went out of public use after Operation Trikora and handover of West Papua to Indonesia in 1963.

Hai tanahku Papoea, Kaoe tanah lahirkoe, Koe kasih akan dikaoe sehingga adjalkoe.

Koekasih hoetan-hoetan Selimut tanahkoe Koesuka mengembara Di bawah naoengmoe.

het licht Ik hou van de bergen Groot en verheven En de wolken die zweven Om hun toppen Ik hou van je grond Die met je vruchten Mijn ijver betaalt En mijn werk Ik hou van het geluid van de branding Die op je stranden slaat Een lied dat steeds Mijn hart verheugt Ik hou van de bossen Het dekkleed van mijn land Ik mag zo graag zwerven Onder je schaduw Dank zij u Heer Gij hebt mij het land gegeven Laat mij ook ijverig zijn Om het te laten beantwoorden aan Uw doel 4 Oh Papua my land Where I was born and raised Thee I shall always love Till my day of eternal rest comes I love the whiteness of your sands On your beaches joyful Where the azure seas Sparkle bright in the day Your high peaks I adore Majestic and grand Sublime clouds surrounding Around the tops they do I love this land of mine Naturally abounding with bounty That shall pay me off and my labour in full Thy roaring waves I am smitten with Ever crashing against your white sandy beaches A melody that shall eternally In my heart remain I love the sprawling forests That this land is built upon Tis rapture to traipse Under its benevolent shade Thank you oh Lord on high This land of mine Thine creation Task me to labour ceaselessly too To spread Thy cause far and wide 1 See also edit nbsp New Guinea portalFree Papua MovementReferences edit a b Daniel Mwambonu 25 October 2018 Untold Story About West Papua National
