Kicir Kicir This is a traditional song of Betawi people from Jakarta.

The lyrics of the song actually consists of poems that have rhymes at the end of each sentence (similar to limericks). Each of these poems contains advice or consolation with a sense of humor, a very typical character of Betawi people.

A sampan (wooden boat) is being rowed quickly to the blue beach. If you are looking for a loved one be aware of the fisherman. Yes, be aware of jealousy, as it is everywhere and will make your heart false. Row your boat to catch fish in your net at the mouth of the river. If you are looking for food the fisherman will provide it. Yes, row together to the voice of unity. It is probably more meaningful in the original Bahasa Indonesia.
