Di Tanjong Katong
Di Tanjong Katong, airnya biruIn Tanjong Katong, the water is blue Di situ tempatnya dara jelita That is where you can find beautiful girlsDuduk sekampung, lagikan rinduLiving in the same village, I am missing you Kononlah pula nun jauh di mataWhat if we are far away from each other Pulau Pandan jauh ke tengah Pandan Island far out at seaGunung Daik bercabang tiga Daik Mountain has three peaksHancur badan di kandung tanah In death, our bodies within the soilBudi yang baik di kenang juaOur kind deeds will always be remembered
