bengawan solo, riwayatmu ini
sedari dulu jadi perhatian insani
musim kemarau, tak seberapa airmu
di musim hujan air meluap sampai jauh ...

mata airmu dari solo
terkurung gunung seribu
air mengalir sampai jauh
akhirnya ke laut ...
itu perahu, riwayatmu dulu
kaum pedagang selalu naik itu perahu

美丽的梭罗河
我为你歌唱
你的光荣历史
我永远记在心上
旱季来临
你轻轻流淌
雨季使波滔滚滚
你流向远方
你的源泉是来自梭罗
万丛山送你一路前往
滚滚的波滔流向远方
一直流入海洋
你的历史就是一只船
商人们乘船远航
美丽的河面上

========================
Bengawan Solo is a famous Indonesian song about the Bengawan Solo River, which flows through central and eastern Java, Indonesia and is that island's longest river.

The song describes the legendary river in a poetic and nostalgic way, that it is surrounded by mountains, its sources are near the city of Surakarta, that it ends in the sea, and that the merchant class always makes use of it.

Written in 1940 by Gesang Martohartono, it is in the local kroncong style, a popular folk style with influences from Portuguese. The Japanese, who occupied the country during World War II, brought the song with them to Japan after returning from the war. There, and also in the rest of Asia and later worldwide, the song became very famous.
