Lyrics

Rasa Sayange
Refrain:
Rasa sayange... rasa sayang sayange...
Eeee lihat Ambon dari jauh rasa sayang sayange

Bait:
Mana kancil akan dikejar, kedalam pasar cobalah cari...
Masih kecil rajin belajar, sudah besar senanglah diri

Si Amat mengaji tamat, mengaji Qur'an di waktu fajar...
Biar lambat asal selamat, tak kan lari gunung dikejar

Kalau ada sumur di ladang, boleh kita menumpang mandi...
Kalau ada umurku panjang, boleh kita berjumpa lagi
