Jakarta shines, and I need her
Jakarta hopes, Jakarta grooves
Jakarta flows, and she moves me
She’s alive both day and night

She’s worn and torn but full of charms
(Om telolet… telolet Om)

Jakarta flows, and she moves me
She’s many things to everyone
And everything to more than one

Hearts and soul and full of hope
She greets the world with open arms
(Home gotta get… gotta get home)
She’s worn and torn but full of charms
(Om telolet… telolet Om)
