Kecoh Raya Lyrics English Translation by Afieq Shazwan | Tajul
Affan Mazlan lists the sights and sounds of the celebration. He mentions the aroma of ketupat rice cakes and family members roasting lemang bamboo rice. The words offer a simple, charming line: ‘I bought them using my kutu savings pool,’ showing the personal effort behind new clothes.
Kecoh raya, kecoh malam rayaIt’s a festive chaos, the chaos of ‘Eid’ eve.
Harum semerbak ketupatThe fragrance of ‘ketupat’ rice cakes fills the air,
Nenek kata sempat-sempatand Grandma says we’ll finish just in time.
Eh, pergi kejutkan Abang LongHey, go and wake up our eldest brother.
Katanya tak sabarHe said he couldn’t wait,
Sibuk nak balik kampungas he was so busy planning the trip back to our hometown.
Esok dah nak rayaThe holiday begins tomorrow,
Siap-siap baju baruso get your new clothes ready.
Beli pakai duit kutuI bought them using my ‘kutu’ savings pool.
Eh, bila nak masuk keretaHey, when are we getting in the car?
Semua sedia jalan panjang berjelaEveryone is ready for the long lines of traffic,
Esok dah nak rayasince the holiday starts tomorrow.
Kecoh raya, kecoh malam rayaIt’s a festive chaos, the chaos of ‘Eid’ eve.
Kecoh raya, semua dah huru haraThe celebrations are frantic, everything is in an uproar.
Riuh rendah seluruh keluargaThe whole family is making such a joyful noise,
Gaduh-gaduh pakai baju apaplayfully arguing over what clothes to wear.
Hai, meriah kecoh-kecoh malam rayaOh, the eve of ‘Eid’ is so lively and chaotic.
Jangan lambat, besok kita dah nak rayaDon’t be late, we’re celebrating the holiday tomorrow.
Adik, panggil AlangLittle sibling, go call our middle brother,
Suruh siap bakar lemangand tell him to finish roasting the ‘lemang’ bamboo rice.
Tolong kacau rendangPlease help stir the ‘rendang’ meat stew,
Semua tak nampak bayangbut everyone seems to have disappeared.
Eh, cepatlah menolongHey, hurry up and help us,
Janganlah termenungdon’t just sit there daydreaming.
Sibukkan baju kurungYou’re so preoccupied with your ‘baju kurung’ traditional dress.
Esok dah nak rayaThe holiday starts tomorrow.
Kecoh raya, kecoh malam rayaIt’s a festive chaos, the chaos of ‘Eid’ eve.
Kecoh raya, semua dah huru haraThe celebrations are frantic, everything is in an uproar.
Riuh rendah seluruh keluargaThe whole family is making such a joyful noise,
Gaduh-gaduh pakai baju apaplayfully arguing over what clothes to wear.
Hai, meriah kecoh-kecoh malam rayaOh, the eve of ‘Eid’ is so lively and chaotic.
Jangan lambat, besok kita dah nak rayaDon’t be late, we’re celebrating the holiday tomorrow.
Ibu ayah siap sediaMom and Dad are all set.
Siap apa?Ready for what?
Hai, semua tunggu duit rayaOh, everyone is waiting for their ‘duit raya’ gift money.
Duit tak adaThere’s no money left!
Ramai-ramai dah tak sabarSo many of us are impatient.
Tak sabar apa?Impatient for what?
Nak beraya jumpa semuaWe want to celebrate and meet everyone.
Esok nak raya, kecohnya rayaTomorrow is the holiday, and the chaos has begun.
Kecoh raya, kecoh malam rayaIt’s a festive chaos, the chaos of ‘Eid’ eve.
Kecoh raya, semua dah huru haraThe celebrations are frantic, everything is in an uproar.
Riuh rendah seluruh keluargaThe whole family is making such a joyful noise,
Gaduh-gaduh pakai baju apaplayfully arguing over what clothes to wear.
Kecoh raya, kecoh malam raya (Malam raya)It’s a festive chaos, the chaos of ‘Eid’ eve (‘Eid’ eve).
Kecoh raya, semua dah huru haraThe celebrations are frantic, everything is in an uproar.
Riuh rendah seluruh keluargaThe whole family is making such a joyful noise,
Gaduh-gaduh pakai baju apaplayfully arguing over what clothes to wear.
Hai, meriah kecoh-kecoh malam rayaOh, the eve of ‘Eid’ is so lively and chaotic.
Jangan lambat, besok kita dah nak rayaDon’t be late, we’re celebrating the holiday tomorrow.
