Lyrics Of The Song Keroncong Bengawan Solo
By : Gesang
Bengawan Solo, riwayatmu ini
Sedari dulu jadi perhatian insani
Musim kemarau, tak s’brapa airmu
Di musim hujan air meluap sampai jauh
Mata airmu dari Solo
Terkurung gunung seribu
Air meluap sampai jauh
Akhirnya ke laut
Itu perahu, riwayatmu dulu
Kaum pedagang selalu
Naik itu perahu
