Bengawan Solo riwayat mu ini
Sedari dulu, jadi perhatian dewi Sari
Musim kemarau, tak berapa airmu
Di musimhujan air meluap sampai jauh
Mata airmu dari Solo,
Terkurung gunung seribu
Air mengalir sampai jauh
Akhirnya kelaut
Itu perahu,
riwayatnya dulu
Kaum pedagang selalu
Naik itu perahu -- Gesang Martohartono

This is your story Oh Solo River
Ever since Angels lent their favor
In droughts your waters trickled
In plenty fancies tickled
You came from Solo
Where mountains in thousands kept you captive
Till over the wide oceans you flow
And thence wherever your fancies go
That quaint boat
its story ages told
And traders with ample goods
laden in its hold
