Boneka Abdi

Children's Song

(Sundanese)

Abdi téh ayeuna,
gaduh hiji boneka
teu kinten saé na,
sareng lucu na
ku abdi di erokan,
erokna saé pisan
cing mangga tingali,
boneka abdi.

My Doll

Children's Song

(English)

At this time,
I have one doll
It is very pretty,
And so cute too
I put a dress on it,
A very nice one
Please, have a look,
At my doll.

Translated to Indonesian language:

Boneka Saya

Saya saat ini,
punya satu boneka
Benar-benar bagus,
dan sangat lucu.
Saya beri pakaian,
pakaian sangat indah
Silakan, dilihat,
boneka saya.
