Sa^ dna, tiga, ainpat, lima, anam, tujoh,
delapan, sftmbilan, sapuloh.
Seliah ka nuan Orang Kaya Pulang Gana,

Enggaika tajong nuan basah,

Enggaika sirat nuan kamah,

Enggaika salampai nuan sebah !

Sa, dua, tigia, ampat, lima, anam, tujoh.
Nyengok nuan Orang Kaya, Pulang Gana,

Ini Anda, Raja Dewata!
Nuan nyau ka Mentri Patinggi,

Nuan nyau ka Sultan, ka Pangeran,
Nuan nyau ka Degedong, ka Tamung-
gong!

Nuan aku ngumbai, aku ngelambai !

Aku mri ati manok laki,

Aku mri telu manok indu,
Nyadi nuan enda tau enda ngabang,

Enda tau enda man sang,

Enda tau enda ngelulu,

Enda tau enda kitu.
Pulang Gana ni ti nuan ngumbai, ti nuan
ngelambai ?

Pulang Gana ti diau kadugau tan kadiri,
Ti tindok melukok, nyandih di lanji,

Enda aku ngumbai, enda aku ngelambai,
Enda aku mai ngabang, enda aku mai
mansang.
Ni ti nuan kumbai ti nuan lambai?



One, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight, nine, ten.
Draw aside O chief Pulang Gana,
Lest thy sarong be wetted,
Lest thy waist-cloth be dirtied.
Lest thy gold sash be made damp !
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
Look forth, O Pulang Gana, great chief-
tain,

Ini Anda, Raja Dewata !
Thou hast become a Councillor Pa-

tinggi.
Thou hast become a Sultan, a Prince.
Thou hast become a Degedong, a
Tamunggong !
To thee I call, I oeckon !
I present thee with a cock's heart,
I give thee the egg of a hen.
Therefore thou must attend the feast.
Thou must come forward.
Thou must come among us.
Thou must come hither.
