[edit] Terang Bulan (original song)

Terang bulan
Terang bulan di kali
Buaya timbul disangkalah mati
Jangan percaya mulutlah lelaki
Berani sumpah 'tapi takut mati
Jangan percaya mulutlah lelaki
Berani sumpah 'tapi takut mati

Waktu potong padi di tengah sawah
Sambil bernyanyi riuh rendah
Memotong padi semua orang
Sedari pagi sampai petang

Waktu potong padi di tengah sawah
Sambil bernyanyi riuh rendah
Bersenang hati sambil bersuka
Tolonglah kami bersama sama

[edit] Moon Shine (Indonesian song by the same name)

The moon is shining
Moon shine reflects on the river
Floating crocodile thought to be dead
Don't believe man's saying
Dare to pledge but afraid of dying

Whilst cutting paddy in the middle of the field
While singing noisily
Cutting paddy is everyone
Unrealised morning to evening

Whilst cutting paddy in the middle of the field
While singing noisily
Heart at ease while having fun
Help us together
