Poket Pokai

Alkisah alkisah
Hari ini joli tak kisah
Hari ini gaji habis dah
Lupa pula menyimpan
Bila dah kering baru teringat
Selamat pagi awal bangun
Pakai busana paling ballin
Roger roger gadis anggun abang
Nak payung pergi shopping
Rasa diri macam jutawan
Murah dan mahal takdak beza
Selera tinggi tak dapat turun
Sedangkan hutangnya berjela
Belakang kira
Mesti jaga standard
Walaupun ada seringgit
Barang kena branded
Bawah sampai atas
Sibuk mantain klass
Padahal makan sendiri pun terlepas
Apa jadi bila nak jadi?
Takkan buat benda sama lagi
Dapat yang diperlu
Perlukah dapatkan
Kau nak apa lagi

Asal boleh beli semua barang
Rumah kereta mewah
Semuanya nampak garang
Asal boleh bergaya siang malam
Luarnya saja kaya
Tapi semua temberang
Poketnya pokai pokai pokai pokai pokai
Poketnya pokai pokai pokai pokai pokai
Poketnya pokai pokai pokai pokai pokai
Dah tahu pokai (Jimatlah sikit)
Janganlah pokai pokai pokai

Rambang mata tak tahu
Yang mana satu
Belanja sakan ikutkan
Kata hawa nafsu
Ringan tangan angkat benda berat
Nak kan satu kedai kena sebat
Jongkol emas takkan karat
Kongsi beberapa kerat
Berapa kerat?
Kereta modified up
Padahal tak sedar diri
Kena modify sikap
Idam nak pergi laju tapi bangun
Hari-hari hanya sibuk bersihkan tingkap
Tingkap? jap, jap
Faham ke tak?
(Tak) takpa
Letak ilmu dalam keputusan
Itu baru jimat berbelanja
Bro
Apa jadi bila dah jadi
Duit ceti belum bayar lagi
Kalau tahu perlu kenapa bazirkan
Sekarang mana nak lari

Asal boleh beli semua barang
Rumah kereta mewah
Semuanya nampak garang
Asal boleh bergaya siang malam
Luarnya saja kaya
Tapi semua temberang
Poketnya pokai pokai pokai pokai pokai
Poketnya pokai pokai pokai pokai pokai
Poketnya pokai pokai pokai pokai pokai
Dah tahu pokai (Jimatlah sikit)
Janganlah pokai pokai pokai

Alkisah alkisah
Hari ini joli tak kisah
Hari ini gaji habis dah
Lupa pula menyimpan
Bila dah kering baru teringat

Weh, air mineral ada lagi taK?

Poket Pokai

My dearest, listen to this tale,
Today, my lady, we shall not prevail.
Our funds have vanished, my love,
For we forgot to save enough.
When our coffers ran dry, we remembered our plight,
My darling, we awoke with a start.
We adorned ourselves in our finest attire,
My love, we sought your company on our adventure, so fair.
We sought to embark on a shopping spree,
Feeling like millionaires, my dear.
Price became irrelevant, both high and low,
Our desires soared, refusing to come down.
Yet, our debts piled high, all around.
We tallied the cost,
Determined to maintain our high standard,
Though our pockets held but a single cent,
Our purchases must bear a designer's name,
From head to toe,
We toiled to maintain our image.
But alas, we starved, our bellies empty.
What will become of us, my darling?
I promise, we shall not repeat this.
We shall acquire only what we need,
And ask ourselves, do we truly require this?
What more could you desire, my love?

As long as we can purchase all we crave,
Our mansion and our lavish automobile,
We shall appear formidable.
As long as we can indulge in extravagance, day and night, my dear,
Our outward appearance shall be that of wealth,
But within, all shall be a sham.
Our pockets are empty, empty, empty, empty, empty,
Our pockets are empty, empty, empty, empty, empty,
Our pockets are empty, empty, empty, empty, empty,
Now that they are empty, (let us be frugal),
And avoid this emptiness.

Our minds were filled with confusion,
Uncertain of our path.
We spent recklessly, following our whims,
As our desires whispered in our ears.
We toiled tirelessly, lifting heavy burdens,
Determined to conquer every store.
Gold will never lose its luster,
So let us share its wealth.
How much?
Our modified automobile gleamed,
Yet we were oblivious to our true state.
Our attitude needed modification.
We yearned for speed, but instead found ourselves
Spending our days cleaning windshields.
Windshields? Wait, wait,
Do you comprehend?
(No) it's fine
Let knowledge guide your decisions,
And you shall find true savings.
My friend,
What will become of us now that we have reached this point?
Our debts remain unpaid.
If we knew we needed it, why did we squander it?
Where can we turn now?

As long as we can purchase all we crave,
Our mansion and our lavish automobile,
We shall appear formidable.
As long as we can indulge in extravagance, day and night, my dear,
Our outward appearance shall be that of wealth,
But within, all shall be a sham.
Our pockets are empty, empty, empty, empty, empty,
Our pockets are empty, empty, empty, empty, empty,
Our pockets are empty, empty, empty, empty, empty,
Now that they are empty, (let us be frugal),
And avoid this emptiness.

My dearest, listen to this tale,
Today, my lady, we shall not prevail.
Our funds have vanished, my love,
For we forgot to save enough.
When our coffers ran dry, we remembered our plight.

My love, do we have any more mineral water?
