Thanks to an Indonesian for translating this, risking his life just to translate this song
(Reminder: Uploads ≠ Endorsement)
Not really sure where the song came from. Apparently the song is credited to "Black Brothers" and was titled as "Yamewero". I'm not really sure the recording date of the song, it's supposedly like in the 1960s and yet the song mentions 1999. The song is from the West Papua National Liberation Army but at this point, I don't even know if it really is. It's kinda of all over the place.
But yes, there is a independence movement in West Papua, Indonesia. For most of it's time, West Papua has been treated as an asset by the Indonesian government and human rights abuses were committed against west Papuans by the Indonesian Military, kind of like how Papua New Guinea treats Bougainville. The conflict is still on-going and there are multiple insurgency groups in West Papua fighting against the Indonesian government to this very day, with no sign of it ever ending soon

Pada tahun (99), 28 Juli,
Posko Papua dibongkar oleh Satuan Brimob.
Kami Satgas Papua Barat berjanji sampai mati,
berjanji tetap berjuang sampai akhir merdeka.
Biar posko dibongkar, pasti Papua Merdeka!
Yamewero....ohoh Yamewero yabe Women Kakeri!
Yananke yanan bayo, Yinemke ,…. yinembayo,
Ya marisen yo resro mangun aya!
