Bengawan Solo | Solo River |
Riwayatmu ini | This is your story |
Sedari dulu jadi | Have been since earliest times |
Perhatian insani | Of sentient attention |
Musim kemarau | In the dry season |
Tak seb'rapa airmu | Your water is not much |
Di musim hujan, air | In the rainy season, water |
Meluap sampai jauh | Spills reaching far distances |
Chorus: | |
Mata airmu dari Solo | Your water springs forth from Solo |
Terkurung Gunung Seribu | Isolated by Gunung Seribu |
Air mengalir sampai jauh | Water flows to reach far distances |
Akhirnya ke laut | Eventually to the sea |
Itu perahu | Those boats |
Riwayatnya dulu | In the past |
Kaum pedagang s'lalu | The merchant folk had always |
Naik itu perahu | Sailed in those boats |
