Lyrics - Malaysian
(Folk song)
Tepuk amai-amai
Belalang kupu-kupu
Tepuk ramai-ramai
Emak upah susu
Susu lemak manis
Santan kelapa muda
Adik jangan menangis
Emak ada kerja
Translation - Clap hands with the ladybugs
Clap hands with the ladybugs
Grasshoppers, butterflies,
Let’s clap as a group,
Mother’s out milking.
Milk cream is sweet
From the coconut
Sister do not cry,
Mother has gone to work.
