The one that smells like the smell of the earth
This is not just any hammer
This is a very powerful hammer
When you hit the rocks
Then the rock broke

(2) There's a watermelon in the market
And there's also ketapang fruit
I'll just buy a quarter
For gifts for children and wife
My heart is going crazy now
Because the lover has disappeared
Disappear and go to one place
A very far away place

(3) There is a lotus flower in the pond
The lotus is white
The white color is very bright
Always make a beautiful pool
My heart is happy now
Because I've met a lover
The old lover has disappeared
Disappear and go away from me

(4) The sun shines bright
Makes dazzle in these eyes
And also make me curse
"How dazzling the sun is!"
Malin Kundang is very arrogant
I don't want my beloved mother
Make Mother say a curse
Turning Malin into stone

Although often hit waves
Because the goal has been imprinted
In the master's mind
The Garlic continues to be patient
Even though he keeps getting bullied
By Brother and Stepmother
Which is very cruel to him

(6) So bright is the sun
Makes dazzle in these eyes
My skin is hot too
By the hot light bright
Arjuna is the third child
Son of Pandu and Goddess Kunti
He has a handsome face
And very good at archery

(7) A mother is in the market
in the middle of bargaining
Against the goods he bought
That is one kilogram of rice
My heart is very angry now
By his impudent behavior
Time to throw my body
By very hard rock

(8) The sky above is getting gray
Sign rain come down here
Makes the ground wet
And release the fragrance
This is not just any stone
This is the reading stone
Inside there is a spirit
Which is very powerful

(9) Crocodile Bread from Jakarta
I got it from Jaka's uncle
Then I brought the bread home
Back to Mataram city
The sky is now orange
The twilight has arrived
And the sun must go away
To the west of the setting
