Empat dara duduk di tepi sungai
Duduk menjerat si ketamlah batu

Duduk menjerat si ketamlah batu

Manis rupa, hai, elok perangai
Sukar dipilih yang manalah satu

Sukar dipilih yang manalah satu

Empat dara berpakaian sedondong
Berbaju putih, berkainlah biru
Empat dara berpakaian sedondong
Berbaju putih, berkainlah biru

Pandai mengarang seloka dan pantun
Hitam manis, hai, pandanglah tak jemu
Pandai mengarang seloka dan pantun
Hitam manis, hai, pandanglah tak jemu

Empat dara, hai, denganlah lagaknya
Bersiar-siar sekeliling kota
Empat dara, hai, denganlah lagaknya
Bersiar-siar sekeliling kota

Sekali pandang senyuman manisnya
Tak mungkin lupa sepanjanglah masa
Sekali pandang senyuman manisnya
Tak mungkin lupa sepanjanglah masa

Wore white shirts and blue kain

Wore white shirts and blue kain

Strolling around the city

Impossible to forget for all time

Impossible to forget for all time
