Where the mouse deer will be chased, try to find it in the market.
Still small, diligent in studying, already big, happy

If there is a well in the field, we can take a bath.
If there is a long life, we may meet again

Ants Injit-Injit Song Lyrics – Jambi Regional Song
Take a trip to Tanah Deli
What a beautiful place to visit
Friends, don’t be sad.
Let’s sing together
If you go to Surabaya,
take your own rowing boat.
If your heart is hard
, you will lose yourself
Ants
who are sick climb above
Ants,
even if it hurts, don’t let go
Take a boat to the Thousand Islands
It’s really beautiful the coral island
It’s really unlucky for me to
have a boyfriend taken by someone
Bandar Jakarta is really crowded.
A place where people make promises,
even though friends don’t have a heart
. It’s nice to be able to sing
Ants
who are sick, climb on top
of the ant’s,
even if it hurts, don’t let go
