Keliwat Kangen
Mahesa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sun simpen ring ati roso welas iki
Nyang riko seng biso nglalekaken
Duh kangene ati nono hang nambani
Mung riko hang biso ngilangaken

Sing kuat isun nyonggo
Kangene keliwat yoro
Sun jaluk gatekeno
Welas isun, nyang riko

Hu-uu-uu oo-oh
Hu-uu-uu-uu-uu

Sun simpen ring ati roso welas iki
Nyang riko seng biso nglalekaken
Duh kangene ati nono hang nambani
Mung riko hang biso ngilangaken

Sing kuat isun nyonggo
Kangene keliwat yoro
Sun jaluk gatekeno
Welas isun, nyang riko

Sing kuat isun nyonggo
Kangene keliwat yoro
Sun jaluk gatekeno
Welas isun

Sing kuat isun nyonggo
Kangene keliwat yoro
Sun jaluk gatekeno
Welas isun, nyang riko




Hu-uu nyang riko
Hu-uu nyang riko
