Apa ngene iki sing jenenge korban janji
Wis ambyar, aku kudu kepiye
Metu ngendi supaya ketemu kowe

Wis kebacut ambyar, tresnaku kesasar
Seneng karo kowe salah nggonku milih pacar
Wis ambyar, lara sing tak rasakke
Kowe lunga ninggalke aku neng kene

Wis kebacut ambyar, ambyar kaya ngene
Manise janjimu jebule mung ono lambe
Wis kebacut ambyar, ambyar kaya ngene
Nengapa kowe tego nyikso aku kaya ngene
