Paroles et traduction Didi Kempot - Cucak Rowo

Cucak Rowo

Kucoba-coba melempar manggis
Manggis kulempar, mangga kudapat
Kucoba-coba melamar gadis
Gadis kulamar, janda kudapat

Jamane, jamane jaman edan
Wong tuwa rabi perawan
Perawane yen bengi nangis wae
Amerga wedi karo manuke

Manuke, manuke cucak rawa
Cucak rawa dawa buntute
Buntute sing akeh wulune
Yen digoyang, ser, ser, aduh penake

Kucoba-coba melempar manggis
Manggis kulempar, mangga kudapat
Kucoba-coba melamar gadis
Gadis kulamar, janda kudapat

Jamane, jamane jaman edan
Wong tuwa rabi perawan
Perawane yen bengi nangis wae
Amerga wedi karo manuke

Manuke, manuke cucak rawa
Cucak rawa dawa buntute
Buntute sing akeh wulune
Yen digoyang, ser, ser, aduh penake

Yen digoyang, ser, ser, aduh penake

Cucak Rowo

I tried, I tried, throwing a mangosteen
Threw a mangosteen, got a mango
I tried, I tried, proposing to a girl
Proposed to a girl, got a widow, darling

These times, these times, crazy times
Old men marry virgins, oh my
The virgins cry every night, sweetheart
Because they're afraid of his bird

His bird, his bird, a Cucak Rawa
Cucak Rawa, with its long tail
Its tail, so many feathers
When it shakes, swish, swish, oh so good

I tried, I tried, throwing a mangosteen
Threw a mangosteen, got a mango
I tried, I tried, proposing to a girl
Proposed to a girl, got a widow, darling

These times, these times, crazy times
Old men marry virgins, oh my
The virgins cry every night, sweetheart
Because they're afraid of his bird

His bird, his bird, a Cucak Rawa
Cucak Rawa, with its long tail
Its tail, so many feathers
When it shakes, swish, swish, oh so good

When it shakes, swish, swish, oh so good
