Original lyrics
Dayung Sampan
Naik sampan, sampan didayung
Sampan pun m'laju, hai, nelayan
Ke pantai nan biru
Kalau tuan mencari jodoh
Jangan mencari, hai, nelayan
Selalu cemburu
Ya, ya, ya, ya
Jangan selalu kau cemburu
Cemburu hati nya palsu
Dayung, dayung, dayung, dayung sampan
Naik sampan menjala ikan
Ikan dijala hai nelayan
Ditengah muara
Kalau tuan mencari makan
Makan di cari hai nelayan
Menarik suara
Ya, ya, ya, ya
Mari menarik suara
M'narik suara bersama
Dayung, dayung, dayung, dayung sampan

Rowing Sampan
Ride a sampan1, row the sampan
The sampan then drives away, hey, fisherman
To the ever so blue beach
If you're searching for a soulmate
Don't search for, hey, fisherman
The one who's always jealous
Ya, ya, ya, ya
Don't always be jealous
Jealous people's hearts are fake
Row, row, row, rowing sampan
Riding a sampan, catching fishes
The fishes are caught, hey, fisherman
In the middle of the estuary
If you're searching for food
Food being searched, hey, fisherman
While singing
Ya, ya, ya, ya
Let's sing
Singing together
Row, row, row, rowing sampan
- 1. sampan: traditional wooden canoe
