Ketipang Payung

Ala payung lah payung, ketipang payung,
Payung sutera nk raja muda,
Ala tolong lah tolong, cik abang tolong,
Jangan lah marah pada adinda...

Daun mengkudu bercabanglah cabang,
Tempat temasya semut kerengga,
Tidakkah rindu.. (ooii kepadalah abang)
Menunggu masa hai serumah tangga

Daunlah nipah ditebanglah tebang..
Batanglah padi aku lurutkan
Kalaulah sudah (ooii kepunyaan abang)
Ke laut api aku turutkan

(This song lyric is in the form of a pantun, a form of traditional poetry. The first two lines of the stanzas demonstrate an image followed by the stanza's less abstract message)

Refrain:

An umbrella belongs to the young prince

Please, brother, do not be angry with me

The mengkudu leaves branch out

The site of ants' games

Don't I miss you

Waiting for the time when we will be in one house

The nipah leaves are felled

I rub the paddy shafts

If there exists one for you already

I will go down to the sea of fire
