Lyrics

Malay originalEnglish translation

Tak sabar kami menanti
Waktu rehat tiba lagi
Heboh, kecoh dan meriah
Bila dengan kawan sekolah

Jadi mari bersama kami
Disini
Lawak, gelak, rancak, borak
Semua di waktu rehat

We just can't wait any longer
Break time finally arrives
Excitement, sizzle and joy
When together with schoolmates

So come on and join us now
Together
Fun, laughter, lively, chatting
All during break time
