How can the day not be chaotic
Chicken den lapeh, ohoi … chicken den lapeh
My cock is off, ohoi… my cock is off
Mandaki Jalan Pandai sikek
Uphill road to Pandai Sikek
Go down the road to Biaro
Descend the path to the Abbey
My heart is incapacitated
How can the heart not be upset
Takicuah crew, ohoi … chicken den lapeh
I’m fooled, ohoi… My cock is off
The elbows are tired, the elbows are tired
One crippled by excess, one crippled by deprivation
Saikua tabang elbow lapeh
One flew one loose
Tabanglah juo nan karimbo
Fly deep into the forest
Oh, poor juo
Oh poor thing
Pagaruyuang jo Batusangka
Pagaruyung and Batusangkar
Tampek mandaki urang Baso deck
Baso people hike / walk place
Sitting at tamanuang tiok sabanta
Sit and meditate many times
Oi takana juo
Oh always remember
Den Sangko Lamang Nasi Tuai
Kusangka lamang rice reap
Kironyo spilled the curry sauce
Turns out the gravy was spilled
You ka pasa is over
I went to the market but it was over / closed
Oh, poor denai
Oh my bad luck
O hoi … chicken den lapeh
O hoi… My cock is off
O hoi … chicken den lapeh
O hoi… My cock is off

Daro’s son…
The Tanang River, the fish are tame
Manjumbush ka subarang cloth
You are very nervous
Barutuang balain jo our fate
