Kim Pou Kah Ku Kong
Am bong bong,
Kim pou ch’uei ku kong.
Am bong bong,
Kim pou luan kiou ku kong.

Ku kong luan chu lah,
Kim pou luan chu sah.
Ku kong luan chu long,

Ku kong chit eh jiang,
Kim pou ping poung piang.
Ku kong puak louk hai,
Kim pou kiou ai ai.


Maksud lagu:
Nek Saudara dan Tok Saudara
Tak nampak jalan, semuanya kelam
Nek saudara cari Tok Saudara siang malam
Gelap gelita, dua-dua tak nampak
Tok saudara! Nek saudara jerit kuat-kuat.

Tok saudara rasa pening lalat
Nek saudara teraba-raba capai apa dapat
Tok  saudara terhantuk di sana sini
Nek saudara berjalan ikut gerak hati. 

Tok saudara buta macam kelawar kesiangan
Nek saudara kunyah sirih pinang sepiak
Tok saudara terkedek-kedek guna tongkat
Nek saudara tangkap secepat kilat.

Tok saudara jerit sekuat hati
Nek saudara jatuh, memecah sepi
Tok saudara jatuh laut
Nek saudara menangis sengsara di hati.

Grandaunt and Granduncle
It is all pitch dark to see the way
Grandaunt looks for Granduncle anyway
It’s all pitch dark so both can’t see
Grandaunt shouts for granduncles fearfully.

Granduncle feels his way going round and round
Grandaunt gropes and grabs what comes around
Granduncle is bumping around meanwhile too much
Grandaunt is depending on her sense of touch.

Granduncle continues as blind as a bat
Grandaunt chews betel leaves in spite of that
Granduncle probing with a walking stick
Grandaunt catching bugs there double quick.

Granduncle yells at the top of his voice
Grandaunt’s fall makes quite a noise
Granduncle tumbles down into the sea
Grandaunt cries in distress painfully.
