Sarjana Kaki Lima

Ada suatu cerita
Tentang seorang remaja
Yang coba bercita-cita
Mengabdikan dirinya
Pada nusa dan bangsa
Jadi manusia berguna

Sejak masa sekolah
Hingga dapat ijazah
Prestasi sangat terpuji
Bulatlah tekad sudah
Melangkah tanpa ragu
Menggapai cita-cita

Set'lah sekian lama
S'bagai seorang sarjana
Yang bingung mencari kerja
Hampir saja frustrasi
Ketika menyadari
Semuanya serba koneksi

Menghadapi suasana
Kenyataan yang ada
Ia tak berputus asa
Bertekadlah dirinya
'Tuk jadi pengusaha
Di dunia kaki lima

Pemuda
Di s'tiap zaman berjalan
Senantiasa berada
Di garis yang terdepan

Terbentang
Segala kemungkinan
Terserah pada dirimu
Tentukan masa depan

College Graduate Street Vendor

There exists a tale
About a young person
Who tried to aspire
To dedicate themselves
To their homeland
To become a useful human being

Since the time of school
Until they received their degree
Their merits were greatly commendable
Their determination solidified,
They moved forward without hesitation
To reach their aspirations

After so long
As a college graduate
They were confused about finding work
Almost reaching the point of frustration
When they realized
It was all about connections

Facing the reality
Of the current situation
They did not give up hope
They were determined
To become an entrepreneur
In the world of street vending

Young man
In every epoch
You are always present
At the forefront

Spread out
Are all possibilities
It's up to you
To determine your future
