 SELAMAT TINGGAL, AYU*

 

Di suatu pagi aku terbangun

Di suatu pagi aku terbangun

Orba t’lah bangkit lagi!

 

Ya Reformasi, bawaku pergi

Oh selamat tinggal, Ayu... selamat tinggal!

Ya Reformasi, bawaku pergi

Oh selamat tinggal, Ayu... selamat tinggal!

Dan nanti jika kutelah mati

Kuburkan aku di atas bukit

Oh selamat tinggal, Ayu... selamat tinggal!

Kuburkan aku di atas bukit

di bawah naungan bunga

 

Orang-orang yang akan lewat

Oh selamat tinggal, Ayu... selamat tinggal!

Orang-orang yang akan lewat

kagumi bunga itu

 

Ya inilah bunga Reformasi

Oh selamat tinggal, Ayu... selamat tinggal!

Ya inilah bunga Reformasi

mati untuk merdeka
