Nak Balik Raya Lyrics Translation – Achey | Anne
The lyrics describe the crowded car ride home, crammed with Raya clothes and cookies. Achey humorously notes the traffic jams, hungry stomachs, and mom’s nagging. One line stands out: ‘The car is packed tight, what can you do?’

Eh, ini cerita bila tiba hari rayaHey, this is the story when Hari Raya arrives.
Kecoh suasana huru-hara berbelanjaThe scene is chaotic with a shopping frenzy.
Beli baju raya, kueh raya, semua bendaBuying Raya clothes, Raya cookies, and absolutely everything.
Sampai dia lupa, eh, kereta kecik jaUntil they forget, hey, the car is actually small.
Bila nak balik kampungWhen it’s time to return to the hometown,
Baru dia tau nak mintak tolongthat’s when they know they need to ask for help.
Barang dah penuh semua dia sumbatThey’ve stuffed it full with so many things.
Kereta dah padat, apa nak buatThe car is packed tight, what can you do?
Balik, balik rayaGoing back, going back for Raya.
Nak balik, nak balik, nak balik, nak balik raya-ya-ya-ya-yaWant to go back, want to go back, want to go back for Raya.

Jalan raya sesaklahThe roads are heavily congested.
Ayah bawak lambat lahDad is driving so slowly.
Dalam kereta bosan lahIt’s getting so boring inside the car.
Mama bebel kuat lahMom is nagging us so loudly.
Perut pun dah lapar lahMy stomach is getting really hungry, too.
Saya tak tahan sudahI just can’t take it anymore!
Kalau esok dah rayaIf tomorrow is already Raya,
Bagi banyak duit rayaplease give me lots of Raya money!
Bila nak balik kampungWhen it’s time to return to the hometown,
Baru dia tau nak mintak tolongthat’s when they know they need to ask for help.
Barang dah penuh semua dia sumbatThey’ve stuffed it full with so many things.
Kereta dah padat, apa nak buatThe car is packed tight, what can you do?
