Lyrics and translation Helen Sparingga - Suwe Ora Jamu

Suwe Ora Jamu

Suwe mas ora jamu
Jamu godong telo
Suwe ra ketemu
Temu pisan kok gawe gelo

Suwe ora jamu mas
Jamu godong kates
Suwe ra ketemu
Temu pisan cengangas cengenges

Suwe ora ngrujak mas
Ngrujak pelem mentah
Lungo ra tau ngajak
Dijak ngobrol soyo ra betah

Suwe mas ora mlayu
Sikil pegel kabeh
Sitik-sitik nesu
Dijak caturan wis mesti geseh

Suwe ora lungan
Nasib kok yo kapesan
Arep lungo pacaran
Klambi anyar kelunturan

Suwe ora mlaku
Satus meter wis ndeprok
Duwe bojo ayu
Ee emane nek turu ngorok

Suwe mas ora mancing
Mancing iwak sepat
Awak kuru ceking
Ora nyebut bojone papat

Suwe mas ora jamu
Jamu godong kangkung
Kados sampun cekap
Kulo nyanyi nderek langkung
Kados sampun cekap
Kulo nyanyi nderek langkung

Long Time No Jamu

Long time no jamu, my darling
Jamu godong telo
Long time no see
Meeting you drives me crazy

Long time no jamu, my love
Jamu godong kates
Long time no see
Meeting you makes me giggle

Long time no fruit salad, my dear
Unripe mango fruit salad
You go without me
Talking to you makes me impatient

Long time no jogging, my honey
My legs are getting stiff
My joints ache
Playing checkers with you annoys me

Long time no hang out
My luck is awful
Wanting to go on a date
My new clothes are faded

Long time no walk
A hundred meters and I'm tired
I have a beautiful wife
But unfortunately, she snores when she sleeps

Long time no fishing
Fishing for sepat fish
I'm getting thin and bony
I don't say I have four wives

Long time no jamu, my love
Jamu godong kangkung
I think that's enough
I'll sing along a little more
I think that's enough
I'll sing along a little more
