| Indonesian lyrics | English translation |
|---|---|
| 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 |
