Mercun dicucuh, anak dihempukFirecrackers are lit, the kids are scolded,
Oh, ibu tenang, banyak bersabaroh, mothers stay calm and very patient.
Pukullah rendang, jadinya empukPound the rendang meat until it’s tender,
Lemang pula jangan biar terbakarand don’t let the lemang burn.

Malam semalam cucuh meriamLast night we lit the bamboo cannons,
Manalah reti, nak duduk diamwe just don’t know how to sit still.
Cukup sebulan dah kena rantaiAfter being chained up for a full month,
Mungkin ada yang geram nak mengilaimaybe some are just eager to cackle.
Kutoleh kiri, kutoleh kananI look to the left, I look to the right.
Ketupat dibedal jadi sarapanI’m devouring ‘ketupat’ for breakfast.
Ibu di dapur, belum berpupurMother is in the kitchen, she hasn’t even powdered her face yet.
Mulalah nanti kalut menggelupur, heiSoon she’ll be rushing around in a panic, hey!
Yang memandu, jangan laju-lajuTo those driving, please don’t speed.
Kan ditahan abang baju biruOr you’ll get stopped by the boys in blue.
Konon nak salam yang dirinduYou claim you want to greet the one you miss,
Sekali auta, jumpa bini barubut it’s a lie, you’re meeting a new wife.
Tapi tadi bukan kisah akuBut that wasn’t my story.
Raya aku masih macam duluMy Hari Raya is still just like before.
Jangan ditanya di mana temanDon’t ask me where my partner is.
Ni urusan Dia yang tentukanThat’s a matter for God to decide.
Puas berpuasa sepurnamaWe are fulfilled after fasting for a whole month,
Menantikan hari yang mulia (yang mulia)waiting for this glorious day (this glorious day).
Usahlah resah ukuran pinggangDon’t worry about your waistline.
Makanlah, makan berpinggan-pinggan (hei)Just eat, eat plate after plate (hey!).
