Malay lyrics | Literal English translation |

Rasa sayang, hey!, Buah cempedak di luar pagar, Pulau pandan jauh ke tengah, Dua tiga kucing berlari, Pisang emas dibawa berlayar, |
I've got that loving feeling, hey!, The cempedak tree is across the fence, Pandan island far in midst, Two or three cats are running around, Pisang emas brought on a journey, |
