My Mom loved to sing it at home.
I never did.
It is non-sense to sing something that is clearly nothing compared to the version my family used to hear :p
And so, here, far far away from home I happened to stumble upon a clip for this song by Viki Sianipar and... oh, I realized.. hey, this song is cool, and...
I must admit there is this sense of belonging (patriotism? nah :p).
So, surprise, surprise, now I really want to sing this song!
Yet, it shocked me that no lyric is available for this song on the internet. How come? How am I supposed to sing along?
So, here are the lyrics. Hope next time people search for "lirik es lilin" or "lyrics es lilin" they will immediately get this page instead of Siti Nurhaliza's other version of Es lilin. Let's sing!
- 1st version , based on the song performed by Viki Sianipar
Es lilin mah ceuceuuu
kalapa muda
dibantun mah geuningan
didorong-dorong
abdi isin geuningan
samar kaduga
margi na mah aduuhhh
inggis kaboyoh(?)
Es lilin mah geuningan
buatan Bandung
dibantun mah geuningan
ka Sukajadi
abdi isin jungjunan
duh bararingung
sok inggis mah aduuh
henteu ngajadi
Itu saha dunungan
nu nungtun munding
digantelan geuningan
ku saputangan
itu saha geuningan
ku ginding teuing
sing horeng mah aduh
geuning jungjunan
Kamana mah geuningan
ngaitkeun cingcin
ka kaler mah geuningan
katojo bolat
kamana mah dunungan
ngaitkeun pikir
moal baleg geuningan batu sabulan(?) - 2nd version, found by J thru internet (I only change it to a readable,- and sing-able-, format)
