negriku negeri antah berantah
politiknya antah berantah
kebijakannya antah berantah
ekonominya antah berantah
pendidikannya pun antah berantah
apalagi jika kau singgung bidang hukum
aih, entahlah,
entah dan tak boleh dibantah
sungguh negriku negeri antah berantah
yang dikangkangi para lintah
kata seorang penyair,
ini negri para bedebah

Indonesia: Let It Go, Let It Flow
in the midst of deaf race
with soft wave of breeze
I hear the silence of leaves
caressing vociferous pain with grace
let it go, let it flow
'till disappear things in hollow
in the midst of uncertainty
rise and fall are brothers in blood
take both or be empty
no way to walk but in the deep mud
let it go, let it flow
be tough in the realm of sorrow
in the midst of blasphemy and swear
no words are right but lies
for no one in the world will care
to the empty promises they put their ties
let it go, let it flow
though your life is betted on the gallows
