The Girmitiyas ( FIJI)

YOUTUBE DESCRIPTION   SYRIA'S CHILDREN - OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO   In 1884, the ship Syria set sail from Calcutta carrying indentured laborers and their families bound for a new life in Fiji. After forty days at sea, it struck Nasilai Reef in Tailevu – a tragedy that claimed lives, but also forged an unbreakable bond between Indian girmitiyas and Fijian communities. This song honors the memory of those who made the journey, those who were lost to the waves, and those whose legacy lives on in the shared soil of Fiji. From the bustling docks of Calcutta to the shores of Nasilai, Syria’s Children tells a story of resilience, compassion, and two cultures woven together by the tide. Special Thanks: Descendants of Syria survivors and Fijian rescuers who shared their stories The National Trust of Fiji for preserving historical records All artists and crew who helped bring this tribute to life   LYRICS "SYRIA'S CHILDREN"   Verse 1 Calcutta docks, 1884 Forty days beneath the sun Rice in their bellies, hope in their hands Names written down for a new land Lascars hauling at the ropes Children clinging to their folks The Syria cut through blue and gray Counting miles to where they’d stay Chorus Oh Nasilai reef, where the waves break hard Where the Syria met the yard Fijian hands pulled them from the foam But some would find no shore to call home Indian souls in Fijian sand Every tide will understand Syria’s children, lost and found In this sacred ground Verse 2 That May night, stars hid from view The reef rose up like teeth of blue Wood split open, cries took flight Salt water swallowing the light Some were tangled in the rigging Some were carried by the bidding Of the sea that gave and took away In the dark of Nasilai Bay Chorus Oh Nasilai reef, where the waves break hard Where the Syria met the yard Fijian hands pulled them from the foam But some would find no shore to call home Indian souls in Fijian sand Every tide will understand Syria’s children, lost and found In this sacred ground Bridge Villagers came with canoes and care Wrapped the living in their hair Laid the dead in Tailevu earth Gave them peace for all their worth Now the children run where stones still stand Touch the markers with their hands Two worlds woven in the tide Side by side, side by side Final Chorus Oh Nasilai reef, where the waves break hard We remember every name on the card Fijian hearts, Indian bones In every tide that rolls and moans Syria’s children, lost and found Forever in this sacred ground   write the youtube descrition and 20 hastag)   CONNECT WITH US: Follow for more stories of the girmit journey Share this video to keep the memory alive Tag us with your own family stories from the indenture era   20 HASHTAGS   #SyriasChildren #Girmit #IndenturedLabor #Fiji #India #NasilaiReef #Tailevu #SyriaShip #1884 #Girmitiyas #FijianIndian #PacificHistory #IndianDiaspora #FijiHistory #Calcutta #Shipwreck #Tribute #CulturalHeritage #RememberThem #SacredGround
