Satangkai Malang

Samulo baniah satampang
Tumbuah disawah samo di garo
Nan satangkai banasib malang
Dek angin kacang patah tandannyo
Disiko mangko urang sisiahkan ulah dek hampo bia tabuang
Namun boneh urang baok pulang atah nan tingga jo jarami malang

Samulo baniah satampang
Tumbuah disawah samo di garo

Ondeh dunsanak kami di lumbuang
Kanalah kami nan malang
Sungguah dilulua kami bagaluang
Kaganti baniah nan datang
Sungguah pun malang nasib ko
Di dalam luluah kami baguno
Namun nan boneh usah lah lupo
Kami ka pupuak baniah nan tibo

Samulo baniah satampang
Tumbuah disawah samo di garo

Ondeh dunsanak kami di lumbuang
Kanalah kami nan malang
Sungguah dilulua kami bagaluang
Kaganti baniah nan datang
Sungguah pun malang nasib ko
Di dalam luluah kami baguno
Namun nan boneh usah lah lupo
Kami ka pupuak baniah nan tibo

Samulo baniah satampang
Tumbuah disawah samo di garo

A Single Rice Stalk

A rice stalk grows tall and green
In the fields and among the weeds
But one stalk suffers a cruel fate
Snapped by the wind, its head now bleeds
They cast it aside, but I take it home, though humble and plain
For the grain it bears is worth more than gold, though its straw remains

A rice stalk grows tall and green
In the fields and among the weeds

Oh, my beloved, who stands in the shadows
Comfort me in my sorrow
I am forgotten, replaced by others
Newcomers who have come to call
Though my fate is harsh
I will rise again from the ashes
And remember the grain that I hold
I will nurture the newcomers who come

A rice stalk grows tall and green
In the fields and among the weeds

Oh, my beloved, who stands in the shadows
Comfort me in my sorrow
I am forgotten, replaced by others
Newcomers who have come to call
Though my fate is harsh
I will rise again from the ashes
And remember the grain that I hold
I will nurture the newcomers who come

A rice stalk grows tall and green
In the fields and among the weeds
