Lyrics and translation Puan Sri Saloma - Kain Songket

Kain Songket

Pemuda pemudi kalau berkain songket
Alangkah indah berseri bertambah cantik
Alangkah indah berseri bertambah cantik
Kainlah songket tenun melayu
Mula asalnya dari terangganu

Oh abang yang manis 2x
Oh Nona yang lawa 2x
Pakai la kain songket 2x
Pakaian budaya 2x

Kain songket pakaian anak melayu
Tapi dsayang tak boleh pakai selalu 2x
Kerana jemu mata memandang
Tidak seperti batik basahan

Berbagailah macam boleh digayakan 2x
Setiap hari jikalau berjalan 2x

Sungguh banyak dipakai masa hari raya
Miskin kaya kecil besar tua muda 2x
Apa lagi yang lelaki tua
Dia berjalan dengan kaki tiga
Tersenyum pula sambil ketawa 2x
Sayang sedikit giginya dua 2x

Pemuda pemudi kalau berkain songket
Alangkah indah berseri bertambah cantik 2
Kainlah songket tenun melayu
Mula asalnya dari terangganu
Oh abang yang manis 2x
Oh Nona yang lawa 2x
Pakai la kain songket 2x
Pakaian budaya 2x

Brocade Fabric

Young men and women who wear brocade fabric
How beautiful and radiant, increasingly more beautiful
How beautiful and radiant, increasingly more beautiful
Brocade fabric is a Malayan weave
It originally came from Terangganu

Oh handsome brother, both times
Oh beautiful miss, both times
Wear brocade fabric, both times
A cultural attire, both times

Brocade fabric is the attire of Malay children
But, unfortunately, it cannot be worn all the time, both times
Because after a while, the eyes will grow tired of looking
It's not like the batik fabric

It can be styled in various ways, both times
It can be worn when walking outside every day, both times

It is often worn during the Hari Raya holiday
Regardless if one is poor, rich, young, old, or middle-aged, both times
Especially the old men
They walk with a cane
They smile and laugh, both times
What a shame, they only have two teeth left, both times

Young men and women who wear brocade fabric
How beautiful and radiant, increasingly more beautiful, twice
Brocade fabric is a Malayan weave
It originally came from Terangganu
Oh handsome brother, both times
Oh beautiful miss, both times
Wear brocade fabric, both times
A cultural attire, both times
