Yuk kanca ning nggisik gembira.
Alerap-lerap banyuning segara.
Angliak numpak prau layar.
Ing dina minggu ke pariwisata.
Alon prahuné wis nengah
Byak byuk byak, banyu tinelak
Ora jemu-jemu katon esem ngguyu
Ngilangaké rasa lungrah lesu
Adek njawil mas, jebul wis sore
Witing kelapa katon ngawe-awe.
Prayogané becik bali wae
Dene sesuk esuk tumandang nyambut gawe.
