Pisaan lyrics.

Pisaan textMeaning

Tabikpun nabik tabik
Mahappun ngalimpugha
Terhadap di sai ghamik
Penghwatin sai wat dija
Cutik siji pesan buya
Kuti Ghua kak bekeluarga
Ibadah dang sampai lupa
Piil keluarga gham jaga
Ganta nayah ceghita
Anak lupa di hulun tuha
Cawa tian jaman kak bida
Dusa jadi biasa
Excuse me,
Sorry for all who praise
To all
Custom balancer, the king is here
A little message from parents
You two are already married
Do not forget to worship
Keep your family’s pride
Currently, numerous stories exist
Children disregarding their parents
Times, so they say, are different
Sin becomes the norm
