Lyrics - Ambonese Malay
(Folk song from Malaysia)
Ayo mama, jangan mama marah beta
Dia cuma, dia cuma pegang beta
Ayo mama, jangan mama marah beta
Lah orang muda punya biasa
Ayam hitam telurnya putih
Mencari makan di pinggir kali
Sinyo hitam giginya putih
Kalau ketawa manis sekali. Refrain

English Translation - Oh mother
Oh mother, please don’t be angry with me
We like each other because we are just friends
Oh mother, please don’t be angry with me
This is what young people are like.
A black chicken lays white eggs
While looking for food at the edge of the stream
Mr. Black’s teeth are white
If only I could be sweet again. Refrain
