Senandung Lebaran
Datuk Sharifah Aini Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Berbaju kebaya berselindang panjang
Berseri di muka di hari lebaran
Aduhai manis sungguh dipandang
Tambahlah berseri hari raya

Pemuda yang tampan tak kurang hebatnya
Layaknya pahlawan gerak dan langkahnya
Bersongkok mereng tersenyum mesra

Sekali pandang hati berkenan

Joget berjoget
Kita sama bergembira
Abang dan adik
Janganlah lupa batasannya

Sila adik abang jamulah selera
Lemang juga rendang tersedia
Wajik dan ketupat dodol juga ada
Pilih yang mana abang suka

Di hari mulia hari bahagia
Mari bermaafan bersamalah kita
Kepada yang tua jangan lupa
Doakan syukur dan ceriannya

Joget berjoget
Kita sama bergembira
Abang dan adik
Janganlah lupa batasannya

Sila adik abang jamulah selera
Lemang juga rendang tersedia
Wajik dan ketupat dodol juga ada
Pilih mana yang abang suka

Marilah berjoget senandung lebaran
Sila abang adik janganlah segan
Setahun sekali kita bergembira
Riang hati di hari raya

Sila adik abang jamulah selera
Lemang juga rendang tersedia
Wajik dan ketupat dodol juga ada
Pilih mana yang abang suka

Marilah berjoget senandung lebaran
Sila abang adik janganlah segan
Setahun sekali kita bergembira
Riang hati di hari raya

Sila adik abang jamulah selera
Lemang juga rendang tersedia

Wajik dan ketupat dodol juga ada
Pilih mana yang abang suka
