Isun ketemu riko
Saiki isun duwe wong liyo
Hang sing biso isun tinggalno
Dudu mung nyonggo getun
Sing bisa nyanding riko
Masio sedelo tetep sing biso
Mergo wedi ono hang loro
Apuo sing sakat bengen ketemu riko
Saat ati durung duwe wong liyo
Isun nong awak riko sing biso nompo
Mung biso mendem roso jroning dodo
Dudu mung nyonggo getun
Sing biso nyanding riko
Masio sedelo tetep sing biso
Mergo wedi ono hang loro
Apuo sing sakat bengen ketemu riko
Saat ati durung duwe wong liyo
Isun nong awak riko sing biso nompo
Mung biso mendem roso jroning dodo...
Apuo sing sakat bengen ketemu riko
Saat ati durung duwe wong liyo
Isun nong awak riko sing biso nompo
Mung biso mendem roso jroning dodo...

Sing mergo salah wektu
Only because of bad timing
Isun ketemu riko
I met you
Saiki isun duwe wong liyo
Now I have someone else
Hang sing biso isun tinggalno
So I have to leave you behind
Dudu mung nyonggo getun
Not just using words
Sing bisa nyanding riko
Who can accompany you
Masio sedelo tetep sing biso
Although it's not easy, there is still someone who can
Mergo wedi ono hang loro
Because there is already someone else
Apuo sing sakat bengen ketemu riko
I really want to meet you again
Saat ati durung duwe wong liyo
But my heart doesn't have anyone else yet
Isun nong awak riko sing biso nompo
I'll call you when I'm alone
Mung biso mendem roso jroning dodo
So I can hide my feelings in my heart
