Song Lyrics Bengawan Solo

Bengawan Solo

Riwayatmu ini

Sedari dulu jadi

Perhatian insani

Musim kemarau

Tak seberapa airmu

Di musim hujan, air

meluap sampai jauh

Ref:

Mata airmu dari Solo

Terkurung Gunung Seribu

Air mengalir sampai jauh

Akhirnya ke laut

Itu perahu

Riwayatmu dulu

Kaum pedagang selalu

Naik itu perahu
