  • Lancang Kuning

    The Royal Barge

     

    Lancang Kuning belayar malam,

    Haluan menuju ke laut dalam.

    Kalau nakhoda kurang faham,

    Alamat kapal akan tenggelam.

     

    The Royal Barge sails at night,

    Sailing towards the deep sea.

    If her captain be ignorant is he,

    The ship shall sink with certainty.

     

    (Traditional, Riau)
