Bunga Tanjung (Bersama Orkestra RTM)

Bunga tanjung putih berseri
Kembang jelita, harum baunya
Gagah sungguh pohonmu berdiri
Tegap rimbun, gagah perkasa

Harum jelita si bunga suci
Idaman dara gadis rupawan
Sangat sombongnya bungamu menari
Melenggang-lenggok di hujung dahan

Walaupun engkau si bunga tanjung
Hiasan sanggul gadis rupawan
Tiadalah kamu sangat beruntung

Bagai melati
Bagai melati di lembah sana
Lihatlah senyuman kembang melati
Disunting kelana di lembah sunyi

Lihatlah pula bunga teratai
Dijunjung musafir lambai-melambai
Ha, ha-ah-ah

Sungguh nasibmu si bunga tanjung
Bagai cahaya ditutup mendung
Tiadalah tangan menyunting kamu

Menunggu gugur di angin lalu
Malam dudukmu di dahan tinggi

Kini bertabur di atas bumi

Bunga Tanjung (With RTM Orchestra)

Bunga tanjung white and radiant
Beautiful flower, fragrant scent
How majestic your tree stands
Sturdy, lush, and powerful

Beautiful and fragrant, oh sacred flower
Desired by maidens with charming faces
How proudly your flowers dance
Swaying gracefully on the branch tips

Though you are the bunga tanjung
Adorning the hair buns of beautiful maidens
You are not so fortunate

Like the jasmine
Like the jasmine in that valley
See the smiling jasmine flower
Plucked by a traveler in the silent valley

Look also at the lotus flower
Held high by travelers as they wave
Ha, ha-ah-ah

Your fate, oh bunga tanjung, is truly sad
Like a light obscured by clouds
No hand will come to pluck you

Destined to fall in the passing wind
Spending your nights alone on the high branch

Now scattered upon the earth
