ono tangis kelayung-layung [There was a sob.]
tangise wong kang wedi mati [The cry of someone who is afraid to die]
gedungono kuncenono [Shroud and tie]
yen wis mati mongso wurungo [If it is dead, can not be canceled]
REFF
ditumpakke kreto jowo [Raised on a corpse stretcher]
rodane rodo menungso [The Wheels are human wheels]
ditutupi ambyang-ambyang [Covered with cloth]
disirami banyune kembang [Watered with water of flower]

duh Gusti Allah [Allah, My God]
kulo nyuwun pangapuro [I beg for mercy]
ning sayange [but unfortunately]
wes ora ono guno [it is no use]
