Bengawan Solo [English translation]

Solo river

Your personal history

Has been subjected from days old

To keen observation

At dry season

Not much water is in you

At rain season

Your waters flood over to yonder

        Your well springs in Solo

        Surrounded by Mts. Thousand

        Your water flows reaching far

        To end in the sea

That’s a boat

This is your past history

The merchant class always

Board on that boat
