it is seen that it should not be taken
Rendang pepper is covered in smoke
that reaches Mount Seven

Every time I pray

Go to sleep, close your eyes dear,
tomorrow we will play again

The great Black Kayo people in the Keris siginjai mano-mano
are the main weapons
Rangkaio Pingai Dulur yang tuo
The wise one leads the country
The flatness of Lamo Dulur Yang Mudo
of Mount Balangsebo is tested by walnuts
Mayang parses setio’s wife,
Tumenggung Merah’s son, Melato
Meriam, a talisman of his incarnation,
Egung Sitimang Pulo Ibunyo

Young areca nut young areca nut split in two
Mount Kerinci, the mountain is towering high
O young man, if you have to walk together,
be happy even though there is no one to stop you
Prawns and prawns, there are prawns on the side of the river.
Girls and single parents don’t care
Sparrows dead sparrows hanging
Falling down and falling on the rocks
The lady is beautiful Ouch mama not a person
The person is beautiful Ouch miss long hair
Prawns and prawns, there are prawns behind a rock.
Single girls and parents can’t know
There are mountains, there are mountains, here is the mountain.
The middle, the middle, the jasmine flower.
O village girl, she is beautiful
in a headscarf.
Black, black, black, black, black, the mangosteen fruit.
Let him be black, but I look sweet
Black chicken black chicken with white strings
Fly high fly high above the hills
Black people oh mama white teeth
When you laugh it’s really beautiful it’s so sweet
Prawns and prawns, there are prawns behind a rock.
Single girls and parents can’t know

It’s fate that the hunchbacked cucumber
doesn’t enter the scales
Dak entered into the etongan
ouch dear…
Apo are again included in the invitation…
Apo are again included in the invitation…
It’s unfortunate that the hunchbacked cucumber
never gets insulted by people.
I don’t want to be looked at,
my dear friend…
Stay under the scales…
Stay under the scales…
If this is the fate of the body like other cucumbers…
Disapo is chosen by a friend who is ego instead of playing…
It’s unfortunate that your fate has taken you
wherever your feet have taken you, oh my dear…
Don’t be beibo nian, hunchbacked cucumber.
Tomorrow morning, the chicken will still be frozen…
All the contents of nature must be good together
If it’s night or day…
