My little bird up in the tree How beautiful you seem
I made up my mind and I will wait Till she comes back to stay
My little bird up in the tree You know I need her, can't you see
Oh, tell me please, when time is dead Let's see, welcome home to stay
Oh, let's see, oh, sayangi Rasa sayang, sayangi
Hamba santalinga mula Rasa sayang, sayangi
Rasa sayang, sayangi
Oh, let's see, oh, sayangi Rasa sayang, sayangi
Tana ae sulut jai Rasa sayang, sayangi
E sio sayang alhe' lari
Kalpang timpul too mal kembali
Ingat tanah air, tanah tumpah darah
Lagi ibu, bapak dan saudara
Olesio sayangin, rasa sayang, sayangin
Tanah santan di luar, rasa sayang, sayangin
Olesio sayangin
Olesio sayangin
Rasa sayang, oh sayangin
Tambah santan dengan gula, tanah air
Jauh
