silambara
battle of dewa-dewa
how could there be a winner
magical against wooden swords;
believe our people!
to surround the magnificent world
as the sun vanished full moon suddenly shines
prominently appeares a hero from
rimba rumbia
the change of the entire world
the high tide was full; the petambangs retire
awaiting the low tide; bringing along gossips
down the estuary
sacrifices by pawning the ladder
pity our people
losing the ladder; swaying their legs
losing the ladder keep staring
at their legs!
