Layang Layang
Jade Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Matawari sundut ku benna
Ertangkel aku sisada
Kuukuri kerna nggeluh enda
Kai nge ndia artina

Bagi layang layang
Nimai peltep nari nge ngenca
Di reh ganjangna
Adi la peltep nusur me dungna

Siriahken saja uga litna
Kai si jadi bas geluhta
Sebab kerinana e
Labo kita punana

Sidalani saja asa ngasupta
Kai si berekenna man banta
Sebab kerinana e
Tembe nge pagu dungna

Bagi layang layang
Nimai peltep nari nge ngenca
Di reh ganjangna
Adi la peltep nusur me dungna

Siriahken saja uga litna
Kai si jadi bas geluhta
Sebab kerinana e
Labo kita punana

Sidalani saja asa ngasupta
Kai si berekenna man banta
Sebab kerinana e
Tembe nge pagu dungna

Siriahken saja uga litna
Kai si jadi bas geluhta
Sebab kerinana e
Labo kita punana

Sidalani saja asa ngasupta
Kai si berekenna man banta
Sebab kerinana e




Tembe nge pagu dungna
Oooo... ooo...
