Complete Lyric NDX AKA Version:
Pas aku dolan jebul ketemu kowe neng dalan
Kowe konangan gendakan
Ngomongo jalokmu piye
Tak turutane, tak usahakne
Aku ramasalah, yen kon berjuang dewe
Sing penting kowe bahagia endinge
Nanging ngopo, walesanmu neng aku
Kowe luwih milih dek'e
Kowe ninggal aku ninggal tatu
Kurang opo, nek ku mertahanke kowe
Kowe malah ngeboti liyane
Aku ramasalah, yen kon berjuang dewe
Sing penting kowe bahagia endinge
Nanging ngopo, walesanmu neng aku
Kowe luwih milih dek'e
Aku kaget ndelok status mu tangan gandengan
Jelas udu ro aku sik ngancani koe tahunan
Janjimu janji taek jare arep tekan tuek
Nyatane cangkemu elek ati ajur mbok suwek
Percuma tak gondeli wong sing ora nduwe ati
Aku ra mbok hargai utekmu mbok deleh ngendi
Keblongan leh ku berjuang dihancurke harapan
Kabeh sebatas angan dibuang koyo rosokan
Sirahku soyo judeg nduwe pasangan picek
Neng pikiran wis bunek critone kudu wis mandek
Mlakuo karo dee tatuku tak urus dewe
Saiki koe sepele ditenggo mawon karmane
