Lyrics - Indonesian
(Folk song from Indonesia & Singapore)
Dayung sampan,
Dayung dayung sampan,
Dayung bersama kawan kawan,
Bersuka ria,
Ayuh kawan kita berpasukan
Dayung mendayung sambil kita
Nyanyi sama-sama
Dayung, dayung, dayung dayung dayung.
English Translation - Rowing with a canoe
Rowing a canoe,
Rowing rowing a canoe,
Rowing with friends, friends,
Having fun,
Come on, friends, let’s team up
The oar is rowing while we
Sing together
Row, row, row row row row.
