Indonesian Traditional Song - Lir ilir

 Lir ilir song is one of the great works of Sunan Kalidjaga, one Walisongo Lir ilir that uses song as a means of propaganda. His work is very well known by the public prior to this day, as the song implies that deserves to be imitated and easy to digest the ancients because it contains elements of Javanese culture.

Lyrics of Lir Ilir Song:

Lir-ilir, Lir-ilir, Tandure wus sumilir

Tak ijo royo-royo,

Tak sengguh temanten anyar

Cah angon – cah angon,

Penekno blimbing kuwi,

Lunyu-lunyu ya penekno,

Kanggo mbasuh dodotiro.

Dodotiro – dodotiro,

Kumitir bedah ing pinggir,

Dondomana jlumatana,

Kanggo seba mengko sore.

Mumpung padang rembulane,

Mumpung jembar kalangane,

Yo suraka, surak hiyo.
