Dendang Perantau

di hari raya
terkenang daku kepada si dia
kampungku indah nun jauh di sana
ayah serta bondaku

di tepian mandi
danauku hijau yang damai selalu
nun di sana tempat ku bertemu
aku dan dia

apa kan daya
masa tak akan kembali
hancur musnahlah
semuanya

impian yang murni
tinggal menjadi kenang-kenanganku
hanya rangkaian kata dengan lagu
dendang perantau
