Kelabit Lyrics

  • Luk luk iko anak bedtuk

  • Put belut binalatung
  • Ngera’o ieh lem pulung
  • Men kekuh ngemuh malem ina’
  • Dih niko dara’
  • Leluen kuh ba’o buda’
  • Ilu muh ina’

English Lyrics

  • Luk luk baby monkey
  • You’re created so beautifully
  • Did I not say, sway not carelessly
  • Sitting easy on low boughs
  • On weak branches
  • I had a bad dream last night
  • Dreamt that Ilan came here
  • Armed with hunting blow pipe
  • Blow pipe decorated all around
  • He fashioned poison darts in the jungle
  • Did I not warn you darling child
  • Peevish sulking you wen
  • My treasure White Pearl
  • My precious darling girl
