BENGAWAN SOLO (SOLO RIVER)
Gesang

Bengawan Solo Solo river
Riwayatmu ini Your personal history
Sedari dulu jadi Has been subjected from days old
Perhatian insani To keen observation

Musim kemarau At dry season
Tak brapa airmu Not much water is in you
Dimusim hujan air At rain season
Meluap sampai jauh Your waters flood over to yonder

Mata airmu dari Solo Your well springs in Solo
Terkurung gunung seribu Surrounded by Mts. 1000
Air mengalir sampai jauh Your water flows reaching far
Akhirnya kelaut To end in the sea

Itu perahu That's a boat
Riwatyatmu dulu This is your past history
Kaum pedagang slalu The merchant class always
Naik itu perahu Board on that boat
