Though I'm a foreigner (From America/USA) many of my Indonesian fans requested after my shows around Indonesia that I learn this famous song. It's become one of my favorite's to perform because of it's lively feel, and sing-along style melody. <br /><br />KEEP IN TOUCH WITH ME HERE<br />http://DavidDiMuzio.com<br />http://Facebook.com/DavidDiMuzio<br />http://Twitter.com/DavidDiMuzio<br />Instagram: @DavidDiMuzio<br />http://soundcloud.com/daviddimuzio/bengawan-solo (free download)<br /><br />GUITAR BRAND: RaingSong (100% graphite guitar), Model P-12<br /><br />Bengawan Solo<br />Solo River<br />Riwayatmu ini<br />This is your story<br />Sedari dulu jadi<br />Have been since earliest times<br />Perhatian insani<br />Of sentient attention<br /><br />Musim kemarau<br />In the dry season<br />Tak seb'rapa airmu<br />Your water is not much<br />Di musim hujan, air<br />In the rainy season, water<br />Meluap sampai jauh<br />Spills reaching far distances<br /><br />Chorus:<br />Mata airmu dari Solo<br />Your water springs forth from Solo<br />Terkurung gunung seribu<br />Caged by a thousand mountains<br />Air mengalir sampai jauh<br />Water flows to reach far distances<br />Akhirnya ke laut<br />Eventually to the sea<br /><br />Itu perahu<br />Those boats<br />Riwayatnya dulu<br />In the past<br />Kaum pedagang s'lalu<br />The merchant folk had always<br />Naik itu perahu<br />Sailed in those boats
