Bengawan Solo Solo River Riwayatmu ini This is your story Sedari dulu jadi Have been since earliest times Perhatian insani Of sentient attention
Musim kemarau In the dry season Tak seb'rapa airmu Your water is not much Di musim hujan, air In the rainy season, water Meluap sampai jauh Spills reaching far distances
Chorus: Mata airmu dari Solo Your water springs forth from Solo Terkurung Gunung Seribu Isolated by Gunung Seribu Air mengalir sampai jauh Water flows to reach far distances Akhirnya ke laut Eventually to the sea
Itu perahu Those boats Riwayatnya dulu In the past Kaum pedagang s'lalu The merchant folk had always Naik itu perahu Sailed in those boats
