Bengawan Solo River of love, behold Where the palms are swaying low And lovers get so enthralled Bengawan Solo River of love we know Where my heart was set aglow When we loved not long ago Nightingales softly singing The guitar is gently playing Moon and stars brightly shining Shining for you and I In that moment divine You whispered you were mine And you vowed we'd never part Down by the river of love
