Lyrics and translation Jef - Siring Sungai

Siring Sungai

Balalu jukung mamacah umbak
Bagamat sanja mulai baparak
Di siring bajanak sabalum tulak

Kilir kiliran babanyu mata
Tatangis kada sampai takira
Bapindah bajauh matan Banua

Hati rasa marista
Pacang ampih bagana
Di Banuaku nang bungas langkar
Mudahan kita badapat pulang

Kada pang purun hati mangganang
Salawasan kada babulikan
Di siring bamula aku batulak

Hati rasa marista
Pacang ampih bagana
Di Banuaku nang bungas langkar
Mudahan kita badapat pulang

Hati rasa marista
Pacang ampih bagana
Di Banuaku nang bungas langkar
Mudahan kita badapat pulang

Mudahan kita badapat pulang

Riverside Embankment

My love's boat breaks through the waves
As the sunset begins to fade
On the riverside embankment before she departs

My tears flow like the river
I cannot count my cries
As I leave my homeland far behind

My heart is heavy with sorrow
I will miss you so much
In my homeland where the flowers bloom
May we meet again soon

I cannot bear to leave you
I do not know when I will return
It is on this embankment that I bid you farewell

My heart is heavy with sorrow
I will miss you so much
In my homeland where the flowers bloom
May we meet again soon

My heart is heavy with sorrow
I will miss you so much
In my homeland where the flowers bloom
May we meet again soon

May we meet again soon
