Sarebu bulan

Dina hiji peuting urang jalan-jalan nnimangan

Kadua bulan

Dina hiji peuting taya saurang nu jalan-jalan

Ngan kari bulan

The meaning of Indonesian:

Three with months

One night we both take a walk

A thousand months

One night we walk alone

Together with the moon

One night no one goes for a walk

Only the moon remains

Sora kari sakelan's life plays the breath of the violin

Ngeleperkeun lagu lumayung hideung

Tentrem anjeun nyang saya, enung

Luang ka kompek ngulahek nembonggan lila

Sakeseta punctukit sakesetan ti dinya hilang

Mutiara kuring mina watangna

The breath of the violin nu ngerihan

Nyekleukna jero tangkeupan

The meaning of Indonesian:

The sound of life is like the breath of the violin

Release the black song

"Assalamu'alaikum friend"

It took a long time to work

It got lost from there

Mutiara saya dari uang

Breath of thrilling violin

Lie down in your arms

Manusa Sundaneseneangan Street

Breathe new andus endah

The endah nu can sink

But it will definitely come

Tata lama ta'ya tempat keur anjenna

Najan alus teu Akse

Manusa Sundanese nglebah poe engke

Old customs are geus in the room and new can kateang

Satenging jalan

Sagala is covered

Unggal barang dilajar

"I think so"

Dipake Ku hate

Henteau pageantuh henteu udar

Mun baheula:

"Aya Tatangga is gone - happy to win"

Aya orok di jarian - jadi chess eusi bekerja

Aya parawan meyang - unggal mojang kaisinan

Bungas deungeun kuring flower

Sad, the turquoise is assisted

Kiwari:

Nu lian Tilar - teu jadi sual

Baby room - strange teu

Can rimbitan geus orokan - teu kudu era

Sewang-sanggan

Mantuan jadi jasa nu wajib dibayar

The meaning of Indonesian:

Sundanese Man Searches For Way

Beautiful new life

Beautiful life that has not been touched

But it will definitely come

Old customs are no place for now

Although it is good unused

Sundanese Man Thinks It Will Be The Day

The old customs have been buried, the beru that have not been found

In the middle of the trip

All are touching

Every object is tried

Feeling it with a sense

Worn to the heart

Not close, nor let go

In the past:

A neighbor died - people came to visit

There is a baby in the trash - so people's lips are in the village

There is a naked girl - all virgins get embarrassed

Like other people is their own joy

Grief is assisted by people

Now:

Others died - it doesn't matter

Baby buried - nothing strange

Not yet married with children - don't be ashamed

Separately

Helping is a service that must be paid for
