Following is one a passumah literate tell some remember about his home town especially serello mountain in passumah language.
Bukit Tunjuk
bebuah salak serumpun
ame ku bilang seribu tujuh
ame betuah tunggu lah dusun
malang mak aku merantau jauh
lagi besak menebas larang
banyak dusun bada ku lalu
aku merantau membawa marah
balik ke dusun ngundang malu
oi nasibku malang
nanggung sedih sepanjang tahun
lagi kecik ditinggal umak
ame besak lenget di jalan
[nasib badan]

It's nice article. Thanks for remembering me to my ancestors at dusun :)
Anyway, the better lyrics of the song may be
aku merantau mbata parang (bring a machete)
balik ke dusun ngundang malu
