Lyrics
ini dia si jali-jali
lagunya enak lagunya enak merdu sekali
capek sedikit tidak perduli sayang
asalkan tuan asalkan tuan senang di hati
palinglah enak si mangga udang
hei sayang disayang pohonnya tinggi pohonnya tinggi buahnya jarang
palinglah enak si orang bujang sayang
kemana pergi kemana pergi tiada yang m’larang
disana gunung disini gunung
hei sayang disayang ditengah tengah ditengah tengah kembang melati
disana bingung disini bingung sayang
samalah sama samalah sama menaruh hati
jalilah jali dari cikini sayang
jali-jali dari cikini jalilah jali sampai disini
English Translation:
This is the Job's Tears
The song is good, the song is very melodious
a little tired don't care dear
as long as you are happy
the most delicious is the mango shrimp
hey darling darling the tree is tall the tree is tall the fruit is rare
The bachelor is the best, darling
Where to go, where to go, nothing is forbidden
there are mountains here are mountains
hey darling darling in the middle in the middle of jasmine flowers
there confused here confused baby
same same same same put heart
jalilah jali dari cikini sayang
jali-jali from cikini jalilah jali to here
The song is good, the song is very melodious
a little tired don't care dear
as long as you are happy
the most delicious is the mango shrimp
hey darling darling the tree is tall the tree is tall the fruit is rare
The bachelor is the best, darling
Where to go, where to go, nothing is forbidden
there are mountains here are mountains
hey darling darling in the middle in the middle of jasmine flowers
there confused here confused baby
same same same same put heart
jalilah jali dari cikini sayang
jali-jali from cikini jalilah jali to here
